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

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