Plasticity of key floral traits influences pollinator attraction
Examining the effects of multiple components of pollen deposition (varying according to quantity, source and timing) and pollen removal on key floral traits in Sabatia angularis, Spigler demonstrates the highly...
Floral longevity and autonomous selfing in Collinsia
Under drought stress, cross-pollination early in floral lifespan of Collinsia reduces floral longevity, but excess soil moisture does not extend longevity.
Novel self-pollination mechanism in Roscoea
Delayed selfing is the predominant mode of autonomous self-pollination in flowering plants. Fan and Li investigate the characteristics of reproductive ecology of Roscoea debilis (Zingiberaceae) and report a novel...
