The morphological and ecological variation of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) fruit: A link between plant ecology and animal foraging behavior

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Persistent soil seed banks are characteristic of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) species in the Mediterranean‐climate California Floristic Province. While most species are obligate seeders, regeneration of stands of all Arctostaphylos species ultimately ...

Phenotypic divergence of traits that mediate antagonistic and mutualistic interactions between island and continental populations of the tropical plant, Tribulus cistoides (Zygophyllaceae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Island systems have long served as a model for evolutionary processes due to their unique species interactions. Many studies of the evolution of species interactions on islands have focused on endemic taxa.

Regulation of tomato fruit ripening [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Fruit ripening is a sophisticatedly orchestrated developmental process, unique to plants, that results in major physiological and metabolic changes, ultimately leading to fruit decay and seed dispersal. Because of their strong impact on fruit nutritional

Evolution of Epiphytism and Fruit Traits Act Unevenly on the Diversification of the Species-Rich Genus Peperomia (Piperaceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The species-rich genus Peperomia (Black Pepper relatives) is the only genus among early diverging angiosperms where epiphytism evolved. The majority of fruits of Peperomia release sticky secretions or exhibit hook-shaped appendages indicative of ...

Investigations on the Pollen Morphology of Some Fruit Species

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2009
Morphological characters are used to identify plant material. Pollen morphology is an important parameter. This is of great importance in detailed investigations by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In order to develop a plant material identification tool, this research was carried out to determine the pollen morphology of some fruit species using ...
