Verhuellia is a segregate lineage in Piperaceae: more evidence from flower, fruit and pollen morphology, anatomy and development [PDF]
Background and Aims The perianthless Piperales, i.e. Saururaceae and Piperaceae, have simple reduced flowers strikingly different from the other families of the order (e.g. Aristolochiaceae).

Heteranthery in Clarkia: pollen performance of dimorphic anthers contradicts expectations. [PDF]
Premise of the studyWild plant species that require the services of pollen-feeding insects for reliable pollination may evolve features that attract and reward their mutualistic partners.

Why flower visitation is a poor proxy for pollination : measuring single-visit pollen deposition, with implications for pollination networks and conservation [PDF]
Funding: NERC studentship (CK - NE/H527291/1), St Andrews Scholarship (GB)Summary The relative importance of specialized and generalized plant-pollinator relationships is contentious, yet analyses usually avoid direct measures of pollinator quality ...

Duodichogamy and androdioecy in the Chinese Phyllanthaceae Bridelia tomentosa [PDF]
Flowering plants commonly separate male and female function in time, but rarely are the two stages synchronized within and among individuals. One such temporal mating system is duodichogamy in which each plant produces two batches of male flowers that ...

An Arabidopsis flavonoid transporter is required for anther dehiscence and pollen development [PDF]
FLOWER FLAVONOID TRANSPORTER (FFT) encodes a multidrug and toxin efflux family transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana. FFT (AtDTX35) is highly transcribed in floral tissues, the transcript being localized to epidermal guard cells, including those of the ...

Oakleaf: an S locus-linked mutation of Primula vulgaris that affects leaf and flower development [PDF]
•In Primula vulgaris outcrossing is promoted through reciprocal herkogamy with insect-mediated cross-pollination between pin and thrum form flowers. Development of heteromorphic flowers is coordinated by genes at the S locus.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heritable genetic variation is crucial for selection to operate, yet there is a paucity of studies quantifying such variation in interactive male/female sexual traits, especially those of plants.

Evolutionary history of the grass gynoecium.
The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium.
