Are there pollination syndromes in the Australian epacrids (Ericaceae: Styphelioideae)? A novel statistical method to identify key floral traits per syndrome [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2013 Convergent floral traits hypothesized as attracting particular pollinators are known as pollination syndromes. Floral diversity suggests that the Australian epacrid flora may be adapted to pollinator type. Currently there are empirical data on the pollination systems for 87 species (approx. 15 % of Australian epacrids).

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

The Comparative Evolution of the Floral Traits of Island Angiosperms
, 2019 Island biotas show parallel changes in community assembly and the evolution of species traits, which are referred to as “island syndromes.” My thesis investigates the evolution of floral traits on islands to test the “island floral syndrome,” which ...

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019 Begonia satrapis was studied for its pollination aspects at Sumbuk, Sikkim, India. The floral details and the foraging behaviour of insects visiting the flowers were examined to define the pollination syndrome and its functionality for the success of ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Tiny, leafless fairy lanterns are easily overlooked on the forest floor. Thismia abei, endemic to Japan, persists in small, unstable populations and is listed nationally as Critically Endangered. Our recent work has revealed another, less obvious form of obscurity.
