Turbulence-induced resonance vibrations cause pollen release in wind-pollinated Plantago lanceolata L. (Plantaginaceae).
In wind pollination, the release of pollen from anthers into airflows determines the quantity and timing of pollen available for pollination. Despite the ecological and evolutionary importance of pollen release, wind-stamen interactions are poorly understood, as are the specific forces that deliver pollen grains into airflows. We present empirical evidence that atmospheric turbulence acts direc...
متن کاملIdentification of Plantago lanceolata pollen allergens using an immunoproteomic approach.
BACKGROUND Airborne Plantago pollen triggers respiratory allergies in Mediterranean countries. OBJECTIVES We aimed to study sensitization in patients with seasonal respiratory allergy and identify proteins of Plantago lanceolata pollen that could be responsible for hypersensitivity reactions in sensitized patients. We also determined the airborne pollen concentration of Plantago species from ...
متن کاملParental effects in Plantago lanceolata L. III. Measuring parental temperature effects in the field.
To determine the evolutionary importance of parental environmental effects in natural populations, we must begin to measure the magnitude of these effects in the field. For this reason, we conducted a combined growth chamber-field experiment to measure parental temperature effects in Plantago lanceolata. We grew in the field offspring of controlled crosses of chamber-grown parents subjected to ...
متن کاملPlantain (Plantago lanceolata) – a potential pasture species
Plantago lanceolata L. is a herb species with a broad distribution in grasslands throughout the temperate world. The leaf is highly palatable to grazing animals, providing a mineralrich forage. The species is rapid to establish, grows on a wide range of agricultural soils and is tolerant of drought and of many common diseases and pests. Two productive upright cultivars of plantain have been bre...
متن کاملPollen-mediated gene flow from transgenic to non-transgenic switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) in the field
BACKGROUND Switchgrass is C4 perennial grass species that is being developed as a cellulosic bioenergy feedstock. It is wind-pollinated and considered to be an obligate outcrosser. Genetic engineering has been used to alter cell walls for more facile bioprocessing and biofuel yield. Gene flow from transgenic cultivars would likely be of regulatory concern. In this study we investigated pollen-m...
