Genome Size and Labellum Epidermal Cell Size Are Evolutionarily Correlated With Floral Longevity in Paphiopedilum Species [PDF]
Frontiers 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 ...

Floral Longevity of Paphiopedilum and Cypripedium Is Associated With Floral Morphology [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Floral longevity (FL) is an important trait influencing plant reproductive success by affecting the chance of insect pollination. However, it is still unclear which factors affect FL, and whether FL is evolutionarily associated with structural traits ...

Spatiotemporal Variations in Nectar Robbing and Its Effects on Reproduction in Salvia castanea Diels (Lamiaceae) [PDF]
PlantsNectar robbing typically reduces nectar availability to pollinators, damages flower structure, and/or induces secondary robbing. Consequently, it may reduce pollen deposition and seed set, increase pollination efficiency and outcrossing, and/or not ...

Petal Morphology Is Correlated with Floral Longevity in Paeonia suffruticosa
Agronomy, 2023 Floral longevity (FL) is an important floral functional trait which is critical for flowering plants. FL shows great diversity among angiosperms; however, there is limited information on the mechanisms that influence differences in floral longevity ...
