The neglected floral polymorphism: mirror-image flowers emerge from the shadow of heterostyly
Evolutionary Journal of the Linnean SocietyMorphological asymmetries in plants and animals raise intriguing questions concerning their function and how they have evolved. One of the most conspicuous asymmetries in plants involve mirror-image flowers (enantiostyly) in which styles are deflected ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2925-2940, September 2026.Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

Factors determining the diurnal dynamics of blooming of chosen plant species
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The paper attempts to synthesize the determinants which may influence the diurnal rhythm of blooming. Additionally, I tried to explore and bring together topics that concern blooming and have always been considered separately because of their origin in ...

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Heteranthery in Commelina communis integrates a temporally structured two‐step selfing system: prior selfing via bud pollination followed by delayed selfing mediated by the medium‐length stamen (M‐anther). By functioning both as a pollinator reward and a mediator of delayed selfing, the M‐anther links outcrossing with reproductive assurance within a ...

Studies on the pollination biology and breeding systems of some genera with sympatric species in the Brazilian cerrados [PDF]
, 2012 Flowering phenology, floral strategies pollinator activity and breeding system were investigated in 14 species of the cerrado vegetation in Braeflia (DF), from April 1985 to April 1986 in Tabebuia caraiba (Mart.) Bur., T.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010 In this study we compare the reproductive biology of Cordia globosa and C. leucocephala (Cordiaceae, Boraginales; formerly referred to Boraginaceae) to understand the functioning of the floral morphs and the relations with their effective pollinators ...

The Origin and Evolutionary Development of Heterostyly in the Angiosperms [PDF]
Evolution, 1967 Recent studies have indicated more and more that plant reproductive systems, like morphological characters, vary within and between species. Heslop-Harrison (1957) summarized studies of some physiological factors which affect the expression of sexuality in plants.

A phylogenomic analysis and revised infrageneric classification of Thesium (Santalaceae)
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract A phylogenomic analysis and revised infrageneric classification of Thesium (Santalaceae) is presented based on targeted enrichment using the Angiosperms353 probe set. This first targeted sequencing study includes 137 samples representing 106 species (approximately 32% of the genus).

SOME ASPECTS OF HETEROSTYLY [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1975 SUMMARYIt is suggested that the functional significance of each di/trimorphic structure in heterostyled flowers should be considered separately. The origin of the morphological and physiological components of heterostyly is discussed; it is suggested that the physiological incompatibility arose first and created conditions favouring selection of ...
