Plant reproductive strategies are not correlated with morphological or genetic diversity in specialized pollination interactions [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract Bachground: One of the most common evolutionary transitions in angiosperms is the reproductive change from outcrossing to self-fertilization, which has occurred independently in many lineages. This transition has been associated with changes in floral biology, ecology and genetics, with selfing species experiencing reduced floral ...

Discovery of pollen tube-dependent ovule enlargement morphology phenomenon, a new step in plant reproduction [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2017 In animals, when semen is discharged into the uterus, the seminal plasma carries the sperm to the egg. In plants, the function of pollen tube contents (PTC) is analogous to that of the seminal plasma in animals, i.e., carrying sperm cells to the ovules for fertilization.

Osmophore patterns in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae)
Diversitas Journal, 2023 To achieve reproductive fitness, floral attractants are essential for insect-plant interaction. Many entomophilous pollination plants have odorous zones, composed of glands that release volatile odors, these odors act as attractants for potential ...

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2010 Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...

Self-pollination by sliding pollen in Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) [PDF]
, 2005 Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) forms dense populations on steep cliffs in shady, humid monsoon forests in south China. It produces few consecutively opening bright yellow flowers that are 3 cm long and oriented parallel to the ground.
