Effects of pollination on floral attraction and longevity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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
