Effects of floral sexual investment and dichogamy on floral longevity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

The cost of floral longevity in Clarkia tembloriensis: An experimental investigation

Evolutionary Ecology, 1997
The hypothesis that flower maintenance requires resources that would be used to support other plant functions (i.e. a cost of floral maintenance) was tested by experimentally manipulating floral longevity. Plants of Clarkia tembloriensis, a species with pollination-induced flower senescence, received either early or late pollinations (long and short ...

Global analysis of floral longevity reveals latitudinal gradients and biotic and abiotic correlates

New Phytologist, 2022
SummaryThe length of time a flower remains open and functional – floral longevity – governs important reproductive processes influencing pollination and mating and varies considerably among angiosperm species. However, little is known about large‐scale biogeographic patterns and the correlates of floral longevity.Using published data on floral ...

Floral Longevity: Fitness Consequences and Resource Costs

1996
Floral longevity (the period of time from anthesis to floral senescence) plays an important role in the reproductive ecology of plants. As noted by Primack (1985), the length of time a flower is open can influence its total number of pollinator visits, which, in turn, can affect the amount and diversity of pollen a flower receives, and the amount of ...

Temperature-dependent floral longevity in two Helleborus species

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2005
The duration of pollen exposure and female receptivity in the winter flowering Helleborus bocconei Ten. and Helleborus foetidus L. were determined in the field. Experimental treatments were performed “in vitro” on cultivated flowers in order to investigate the abiotic factors regulating the patterns of pollen presentation and stigma receptivity ...
