Inheritance of disc flower color in Helianthus petiolaris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Disc flowers of Helianthus petiolaris (Asteraceae) are usually purple reddue to anthocyanin pigments in corolla lobes, style and stigma. However, yellow-flowered plants are occasionally found.

Pollen density on the stigma affects endogenous gibberellin metabolism, seed and fruit set, and fruit quality in Pyrus pyrifolia

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2010
To clarify the relationship between pollen density and gametophytic competition in Pyrus pyrifolia, gametophytic performance, gibberellin metabolism, fruit set, and fruit quality were investigated by modifying P. pyrifolia pollen grain number and density

Flower heating following anthesis and the evolution of gall midge pollination in Schisandraceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Premise of the study: Flower heating is known from a few species in 11 of the c. 450 families of flowering plants. Flowers in these families produce heat metabolically and are adapted to beetles or flies as pollinators.

Physiological and proteomic approaches to address heat tolerance during anthesis in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2009
Episodes of high temperature at anthesis, which in rice is the most sensitive stage to temperature, are expected to occur more frequently in future climates.

Minimum size threshold of visiting bees of a buzz-pollinated plant species: consequences for pollination efficiency.

open access: yesAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany, 2021
PREMISE Flowering plants with poricidal anthers are commonly visited by buzzing bees, which vibrate flowers to extract pollen. However, not all flower visitors are in fact pollinators, and features such as body size and duration of flower visits are ...

Heritability of stigma position and the effect of stigma-anther separation on outcrossing in a predominantly self-fertilizing weed, Datura stramonium (Solanaceae).

open access: yesAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany, 2000
A polymorphism for anthocyanin production was used as a genetic marker to document the relationship between anther-stigma separation and outcrossing rate in the predominantly self-fertilizing weed Datura stramonium. White-flowered plants that differed in

Pollination by flies, bees, and beetles of Nuphar ozarkana and N. advena (Nymphaeaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Nuphar comprises 13 species of aquatic perennials distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The European species N. lutea and N. pumila in Norway, the Netherlands, and Germany are pollinated by bees and flies, including apparent Nuphar ...

New species and new combinations in Sonerila and Phyllagathis (Melastomataceae) from Thailand [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
While revising the Melastomataceae for the Flora of Thailand, we discovered two new species of Sonerila, as well as the need for transferring two species of Tylanthera endemic to Thailand into Phyllagathis. Sonerila urceolata and S. loeiensis are endemic

Stigma development and receptivity in almond (Prunus dulcis).

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2006
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fertilization is essential in almond production, and pollination can be limiting in production areas. This study investigated stigma receptivity under defined developmental stages to clarify the relationship between stigma morphology,
