Nectary size is a pollination syndrome trait in Penstemon [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2019
Summary Evolution of complex phenotypes depends on the adaptive importance of individual traits, and the developmental changes required to modify traits. Floral syndromes are complex adaptations to pollinators that include color, nectar, and shape variation.

Floral characteristics support nocturnal pollination and pollination syndrome in Barringtonia racemosa

Environmental and Experimental Biology, 2022
To test for pollination syndrome and to complement records of foraging visitors of an associate mangrove, Barringtonia racemosa (L.) Spreng., aspects of its floral biology were investigated. Phenology and floral rewards (pollen viability, pollen histochemistry and nectar sugar concentration) were focused on owing to their role in plant-pollinator ...

Reproductive Biology and Breeding Systems of Two Opisthopappus Endemic and Endangered Species on the Taihang Mountains

Plants, 2023
Opisthopappus is a perennial, endemic herb of the Taihang Mountains in China. Two species of this genus (O. longilobus and O. taihangensis) are important wild genetic resources for Asteraceae; however, their reproductive biology has been lacking until ...

Genetic architecture of pollination syndrome transition between hummingbird-specialist and generalist species in the genus Rhytidophyllum (Gesneriaceae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Adaptation to pollinators is a key factor of diversification in angiosperms. The Caribbean sister genera Rhytidophyllum and Gesneria present an important diversification of floral characters.

Avian pollinators and the pollination syndromes of selected Mountain Fynbos plants

South African Journal of Botany, 1984
The flowering phenology of Erica and proteaceous plants and the abundance of nectarivorous birds were monitored in Mountain Fynbos in the Jonkershoek State Forest, South Africa. Species tended to flower for short periods in summer at high altitudes, or for longer periods in autumn and winter at low altitudes.

Effective pollinators of Asian sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera): contemporary pollinators may not reflect the historical pollination syndrome [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2009
If stabilizing selection by pollinators is a prerequisite for pollinator-mediated floral evolution, spatiotemporal variation in the pollinator assemblage may confuse the plant-pollinator interaction in a given species. Here, effective pollinators in a living fossil plant Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae) were examined to test whether beetles are major ...

Pollination ecology in the 21st century: key questions for future research

, 2010
To inspire new ideas in research on pollination ecology, we list the most important unanswered questions in the field. This list was drawn up by contacting 170 scientists from different areas of pollination ecology and asking them to contribute their ...

Síndromes de polinização e de dispersão em fragmentos da Floresta Estacional Semidecídua Montana, SP, Brasil Pollination and dispersal syndromes in semideciduous montane forest fragments, São Paulo State, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2007
Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a distribuição de síndromes de polinização e dispersão entre os estratos verticais e entre a borda e o interior de fragmentos da Floresta Estacional Semidecídua Montana, na Fazenda Bela Vista (46º52'W e 22º47'S ...

Solanaceae composition, pollination and seed dispersal syndromes in Mexican mountain cloud forest Composição de Solanaceae, polinização e síndromes de dispersão de sementes em floresta mesófila de montanha

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2006
In this work we hypothesised that Solanaceae species composition and pollination and seed dispersal syndromes change according to the degree of disturbance.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Architecture of Seed Vigor in Upland Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Leveraging the semi‐automated SeedRanger platform, we profiled the germination kinetics of 356 cotton accessions at a 30‐min interval. This high‐throughput phenomic approach delineated a temporal genetic network comprising 541 stage‐specific loci. Crucially, functional validation identified FLA2 as a pivotal, auxin‐modulated regulator that orchestrates
