Virus-induced gene silencing as a tool for comparative functional studies in Thalictrum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Perennial woodland herbs in the genus Thalictrum exhibit high diversity of floral morphology, including four breeding and two pollination systems. Their phylogenetic position, in the early-diverging eudicots, makes them especially suitable for exploring ...

Plants, 2021 Visual and olfactory floral signals play key roles in plant-pollinator interactions. In recent decades, studies investigating the evolution of either of these signals have increased considerably.

The ancestral flower of angiosperms and its early diversification
Nature Communications, 2017 The fossil record of flowers is limited, necessitating other approaches to understanding floral evolution. Here, Sauquet and colleagues reconstruct the characteristics and diversification of ancient angiosperm flowers by combining models of flower ...

Phenotypic Selection on Flower Color and Floral Display Size by Three Bee Species
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Plants exhibit a wide array of floral forms and pollinators can act as agent of selection on floral traits. Two trends have emerged from recent reviews of pollinator-mediated selection in plants.

Sex‐specific floral attraction traits in a sequentially hermaphroditic species
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 ●Many angiosperms are hermaphroditic and produce bisexual flowers in which male (pollen export) and female (stigma receptivity) functions are separated temporally. This sequential hermaphroditism may be associated with variation in flower size, color, or

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Angiosperms employ an astonishing variety of visual and olfactory floral signals that are generally thought to evolve under natural selection. Those morphological and chemical traits can form highly correlated sets of traits.
