[Floral syndrome and breeding system of Corydalis edulis].

Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2012
A field investigation was conducted on the floral syndrome and breeding system of Corydalis edulis located in natural populations in campus of Anhui Normal University by out-crossing index, pollen-ovule ratio, artificial pollination and bagging experiment.

Pollination syndromes and the origins of floral traits

Annals of Botany, 2023
Abstract Background A general view in the study of pollination syndromes is that floral traits usually represent convergent floral adaptations to specific functional pollinator groups. However, the definition of convergence is elusive and contradictory in the literature. Is convergence the independent

Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2004
▪ Abstract  Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollination syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that flowers attract a broader spectrum of visitors than one might expect based on their syndromes and that flowers often diverge without excluding one type of pollinator in favor of ...

The genetic dissection of floral pollination syndromes

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006
A major factor in the evolution of the angiosperms is the adaptation of plants to animal pollinators. The specific morphology of a flower, its color, nectar composition and scent production can all contribute to reproductive success by attracting pollinators and by limiting out-crossing with other species.

Genomic evidence supports the genetic convergence of a supergene controlling the distylous floral syndrome

New Phytologist, 2022
Summary Heterostyly, a plant sexual polymorphism controlled by the S ‐locus supergene, has evolved numerous times among angiosperm lineages and represents a classic example of convergent ...

Floral scents of typical Buddleja species with different pollination syndromes

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2012
Floral scents from Buddleja lindleyana, Buddleja loricata, Buddleja cordata and Buddleja tubiflora were evaluated using the dynamic headspace adsorption method and identified with coupled gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. In total, 13 compounds were identified from the flowers of B. cordata, 19 from B. lindleyana and 29 from B.

Are floral traits good predictors of effective pollinators? A test of pollination syndromes

Ecological Research, 2021
Abstract Pollination syndromes have been widely used to predict the groups of pollinators of plants. Their predictability has been demonstrated for plant species pollinated by bees, birds, and bats. However, the importance of other aspects on the predictability of pollination syndromes still remain unknown.

FLORAL BIOLOGY OF MYRISTICA INSIPIDA (MYRISTICACEAE), A DISTINCTIVE BEETLE POLLINATION SYNDROME

American Journal of Botany, 1989
The floral biology and pollination of Myristica insipida were studied in two different rain forest communities in Queensland. Floral morphology of M. insipida resembles that of M. fragrans in virtually all respects. The majority of female flowers were receptive 48–72 hr. Male flowers were shorter‐lived, functional for 12–48 hr.

Xylocopa Bees in Tropical Coastal Sand Dunes: Use of Resources and Their Floral Syndromes

Neotropical Entomology, 2013
Large bees such as species from Xylocopa Latreille are usually associated with pollination in tropical sand dune areas, which frequently present shrubby herbaceous vegetation adapted to conditions of high salinity, high solar radiation and strong winds.

Floral Scent Emission and Pollination Syndromes: Evolutionary Changes from Food to Sexual Deception

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2006
The Australian orchid genus Caladenia is unusual in comprising species that have evolved different pollination syndromes, including food deception and sexual deception. In this study, we compare the scent emission of Caladenia longicauda Lindl. (food deceptive), Caladenia arenicola Hopper & A. P. Br.
