Flowers through insect eyes: the contribution of pollinator vision to the evolution of flower colour

, 2010
PhDFlowers’ colours are an essential element of their ability to attract visits from pollinators. However, the colours as they appear to human observers can differ substantially from their appearance to insect pollinators, and so it is essential to ...

Development of Rice Flower (Ozothamnus diosmifolius) as a Cut Flower Crop

, 1996
Rice flower (Ozothamnus diosmifolius), an Australian native plant, was harvested for cut flowersfrom natural stands up to the late 1980s. Comprehensive research into marketing and cultivation of rice flower was conducted from 1992 to 1995.

Blurring the Boundaries between a Branch and a Flower: Potential Developmental Venues in CACTACEAE

, 2021
Flowers are defined as short shoots that carry reproductive organs. In Cactaceae, this term acquires another meaning, since the flower is interpreted as a branch with a perianth at the tip, with all reproductive organs embedded within the branch, thus ...

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Genetic regulation of flower development

, 1996
Flower development provides a model system to study mechanisms that govern pattern formation in plants. Most flowers consist of four organ types that are present in a specific order from the periphery to the centre of the flower.

Sugar and Hormone Dynamics and the Expression Profiles of SUT/SUC and SWEET Sugar Transporters during Flower Development in Petunia axillaris

, 2020
Flowering is the first committed step of plant sexual reproduction. While the developing flower is a strong sink requiring large quantity of sugars from photosynthetic source tissues, this process is under-temper-spatially controlled via hormone ...

Flower Development and Sex Determination between Male and Female Flowers in Vernicia fordii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Vernicia fordii is a monoecious and diclinous species with male and female flowers on the same inflorescence. Low female to male flower ratio is one of the main reasons for low yield in this species. However, little is known of its floral development and
