Floral Integration and Phenotypic Selection on Floral Traits of Ipomoea cavalcantei (Convolvulaceae), a Rare, Endemic, and Endangered Species to the Amazon Ironstone Outcrops

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
This paper analyzed the evolutionary potential of Ipomoea cavalcantei (an endemic species from the Amazon) by using floral integration and phenotypic selection analysis. The analyzed population presented floral integration in style length, probably due to selective pressures from pollinators on floral traits related to pollen deposition.

Honey bee contribution to canola pollination in Southern Brazil Abelhas melíferas na polinização de canola no Sul do Brasil

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2011
Although canola, (Brassica napus L.), is considered a self-pollinating crop, researchers have indicated that crop productivity increases as a result of honey bee Apis mellifera L. pollination.

Intra-umbel geitonogamy and umbel size in a natural population of Common Milkweek (Asclepias syriaca).

open access: yes, 1994
Geitonogamy may have important consequences for the reproductive success of a self-incompatible, clonal species with a large floral display, such as Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca).

Reproductive systems of Hohenbergia Schult. & Schult.f. (Bromelioideae: Bromeliaceae) endemic to the Atlantic forest

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which

Dioecy in a wind‐pollinated herb explained by disruptive selection on sex allocation via inbreeding avoidance

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2733-2745, September 2025.
Summary The evolution of dioecy from hermaphroditism is widely thought to be a response to disruptive selection favoring males and females, driven by advantages of inbreeding avoidance, sexual specialization, or both. It has hitherto been difficult to uncouple the importance of these two hypotheses.

Time of flowering and fertilisation of quince varieties

open access: yesInternational Journal of Horticultural Science, 1999
Literature dealing with flowering and fertilisation of quince is scarce. Most controversial and scanty are informations on observations of self- and cross-pollination.

The incidence and selection of multiple mating in plants.

open access: yes, 2013
Mating with more than one pollen donor, or polyandry, is common in land plants. In flowering plants, polyandry occurs when the pollen from different potential sires is distributed among the fruits of a single individual, or when pollen from more than one

Investigations on self-compatibility and extent of self and cross pollination in cashew

open access: yes, 2019
To address the issues of presence of self-incompatibility and extent of self and cross pollination in cashew, studies were carried out employing eight cultivars and four types of pollinations viz., self-pollination, geitonogamy, hand self-pollination ...
