Flowering biology and structure of floral nectaries in Galanthus nivalis L.
In Poland Galanthus nivalis L. is partially protected. The flowers of this species are one of the first sources of nectar and pollen for insects from February to April. The aim of this study was to present the flowering biology as well as the topography,

Lantana delicata (Verbenaceae), a New Species From Brazil, and Additional Updates Within the Genus
ABSTRACT In this study, we present some novelties in Lantana, a taxonomically complex genus of Verbenaceae. These include (1) the description of L. delicata, a new species from Brazil; (2) the lectotypification of the name L. magnibracteata; and (3) the recognition of L. fucata f. albiflora, previously regarded as a synonym of L.

ABSTRACT YABBY transcription factors are plant‐specific regulators of lateral organ development, yet their functions in legume flower morphogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identified seven YABBY genes in the Medicago truncatula genome and assigned them to five conserved subfamilies.

Floral ontogeny, petal diversity and nectary uniformity in Bruniaceae [PDF]
Bruniaceae are a small family subendemic to the Cape Floristic Region. Flowers are actinomorphic, choripetalous, pentamerous and tetracyclic. The petals show diverse adaxial swellings, which have been quoted as an example of diplophylly. Developmental studies confirm the true choripetaly of the flowers, thus pointing to an affinity to the Apiales within ...

Dispersal is central to the ecology and evolution of spatially structured communities. While flower microbial communities are spatially structured among floral organs, how dispersal vectors distribute microbes among floral organs is unknown.

The structure of nectaries in the genus Strombocactus (Cactaceae)
Background: Floral nectar is offered by the plant to its pollinators to promote cross-fertilization. Questions: Are floral nectaries morpho-anatomically similar among the taxa of Strombocactus? What sugars do nectaries offer their pollinators? Studied

The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.
