Then There Were Plenty-Ring Meristems Giving Rise to Many Stamen Whorls

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Floral meristems are dynamic systems that generate floral organ primordia at their flanks and, in most species, terminate while giving rise to the gynoecium primordia. However, we find species with floral meristems that generate additional ring meristems

The role of sensory drive in floral evolution [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
SummarySensory drive theory posits that the evolution of communication signals is shaped by the sensory systems of receivers and the habitat conditions under which signals are received. It has inspired an enormous body of research, advancing our understanding of signal evolution and speciation in animals.

Pollinator Proboscis Length Plays a Key Role in Floral Integration of Honeysuckle Flowers (Lonicera spp.)

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Pollinator-mediated selection is supposed to influence floral integration. However, the potential pathway through which pollinators drive floral integration needs further investigations.

The 1991 review by Coen and Meyerowitz on the war of the whorls and the ABC model of floral organ identity

open access: yesQuantitative Plant Biology, 2023
The 1991 review paper by Coen and Meyerowitz on the control of floral organ development set out the evidence available at that time, which led to the now famous ABC model of floral organ identity control.

Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales)

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism.

Evolution of floral symmetry: a state of the art

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Biologies, 2008
The genetic determinants of the organisation and variation of the flower, a striking feature of the angiosperms, are only beginning to be deciphered. Floral symmetry has recurrently evolved among angiosperms, zygomorphy (monosymmetry) being a key innovation due to its role in the plant-pollination interaction.

Optimization of SPME–GC–MS and characterization of floral scents from Aquilegia japonica and A. amurensis flowers

open access: yesBMC Chemistry, 2021
Background The floral scents of plants play a key role in plant reproduction through the communication between plants and pollinators. Aquilegia as a model species for studying evolution, however, there have been few studies on the floral scents and ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Genome Size and Labellum Epidermal Cell Size Are Evolutionarily Correlated With Floral Longevity in Paphiopedilum Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Genome size is known to influence phenotypic traits in leaves and seeds. Although genome size is closely related to cellular and developmental traits across biological kingdoms, floral longevity is a floral trait with important fitness consequence, but ...
