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 ...

The effect of drought stress on the limits and costs of plasticity in floral longevity in response to pollinator decline [PDF]
American Journal of BotanyAbstract Premise Declines in pollinator populations can reduce pollination services to plants, resulting in lower seed production. In response to these reductions, plants could increase the probability of pollinator visitation by plastically extending floral longevity. However, whether extended

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 ...

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 ...

Zygomorphic flowers last longer: the evolution of floral symmetry and floral longevity. [PDF]
Biol LettFloral longevity, the length of time a flower remains open and functional, is a phylogenetically conserved trait that balances floral costs against the rate at which flowers are pollinated. Floral symmetry has long been considered a key trait in floral evolution.

Floral Mass per Area and Water Maintenance Traits Are Correlated with Floral Longevity in Paphiopedilum (Orchidaceae). [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2017 Floral longevity (FL) determines the balance between pollination success and flower maintenance. While a longer floral duration enhances the ability of plants to attract pollinators, it can be detrimental if it negatively affects overall plant fitness.

Persistent calyces increase floral longevity and female fitness in Salvia miltiorrhiza (Lamiaceae). [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2022 AbstractThe evolution of persistent calyces may be an adaptation to ensure reproductive success of certain flowering plants. However, experimental evidence of the functions of persistent calyces during flowering and seed development remains scarce. We explored the possible functions of persistent calyces in Salvia miltiorrhiza, a perennial herb with ...

Effects of floral sexual investment and dichogamy on floral longevity [PDF]
Journal of Plant Ecology, 2015 Aims Floral longevity, the duration that a flower remains open and functional, varies greatly among species. Variation in floral longevity has been considered to be optimal strategy for resource allocation under different ecological conditions, mainly determined by the rates of pollination and cost of flower maintenance.

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 ...

Floral longevity and autonomous selfing are altered by pollination and water availability in Collinsia heterophylla. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2013 A plant investing in reproduction partitions resources between flowering and seed production. Under resource limitation, altered allocations may result in floral trait variations, leading to compromised fecundity. Floral longevity and timing of selfing are often the traits most likely to be affected. The duration of corolla retention determines whether
