Floral resources impact longevity and oviposition rate of a parasitoid in the field [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2008 1. The use of floral resource subsidies to improve herbivore suppression by parasitoids requires certain trophic interactions and physiological changes to occur. While the longevity and fecundity of parasitoids are positively affected by nectar subsidies in laboratory studies, the impacts of floral subsidies on the fecundity and longevity of freely ...

Conservation of Alstroemeria cut flowers stored under refrigeration
Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2020 Alstroemeria flowers have shown great importance in the world trade of cut flowers due mainly to its beauty and wide variety of colors. However, the durability of its inflorescences is usually hampered by the rapid yellowing of the leaves, which impairs

The effect of drought stress on the limits and costs of plasticity in floral longevity in response to pollinator decline. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract 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

Effects of pollination on floral attraction and longevity [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 1997 The end of a flower's attraction to pollinators may be due to a range of visible cues such as permanent flower closure, a colour change, and withering or abscission of the petals. Floral attraction may be reduced by pollination. Pollination-induced conclusion of floral attraction is often due to a colour change or to flower closure. This may or may not

Promotion of Floral Longevity by the Ovary in Carnation Flowers
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1987 Abstract Cut carnation ( Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers held in sucrose have a substantially longer vase life than flowers held in water. Excision of the gynoecium does not affect the longevity of flowers in water; however, gynoecia excision did reduce flower longevity ...
