Are pollination syndromes useful predictors of floral visitors in Tasmania? [PDF]
Austral Ecology, 2000 Abstract Diurnal visitors to the flowers of many native plant species were identified in a wide range of Tasmanian sclerophyllous vegetation between September 1996 and April 1997. These foraging profiles were analysed to determine whether they were characteristic of various floral morphologies in predictable ways.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Central American and Mexican Pinguicula species are characterized by enormous divergence in size and color of flowers and are pollinated by butterflies, flies, bees, and hummingbirds. It is known that floral trichomes are key characters in plant–pollinator interaction.

Radial or bilateral? The molecular basis of floral symmetry. [PDF]
, 2020 In the plant kingdom, the flower is one of the most relevant evolutionary novelties. Floral symmetry has evolved multiple times from the ancestral condition of radial to bilateral symmetry.

From A. rhizogenes RolD to Plant P5CS: Exploiting Proline to Control Plant Development [PDF]
, 2018 The capability of the soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes to reprogram plant development and induce adventitious hairy roots relies on the expression of a few root-inducing genes (rol A, B, C and D), which can be transferred from large virulence ...

Environmental and Experimental Biology, 2022 To test for pollination syndrome and to complement records of foraging visitors of an associate mangrove, Barringtonia racemosa (L.) Spreng., aspects of its floral biology were investigated. Phenology and floral rewards (pollen viability, pollen histochemistry and nectar sugar concentration) were focused on owing to their role in plant-pollinator ...

Non-equilibrium dynamics and floral trait interactions shape extant angiosperm diversity. [PDF]
, 2016 Why are some traits and trait combinations exceptionally common across the tree of life, whereas others are vanishingly rare? The distribution of trait diversity across a clade at any time depends on the ancestral state of the clade, the rate at which ...

Evolution of the Selfing Syndrome in Arabis alpina (Brassicaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The transition from cross-fertilisation (outcrossing) to self-fertilisation (selfing) frequently coincides with changes towards a floral morphology that optimises self-pollination, the selfing syndrome.
