Stigmatic fluid aids self-pollination in Roscoea debilis (Zingiberaceae): a new delayed selfing mechanism.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Delayed selfing is the predominant mode of autonomous self-pollination in flowering plants. However, few delayed selfing mechanisms have been documented. This research aims to explore a new delayed selfing mechanism induced by stigmatic fluid in Roscoea debilis, a small perennial ginger. METHODS Floral biology and flower visitors were surveyed. The capacity of autonomous s...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of pollination-induced corolla senescence in petunia
Senescence represents the last phase of petal development during which macromolecules and organelles are degraded and nutrients are recycled to developing tissues. To understand better the post-transcriptional changes regulating petal senescence, a proteomic approach was used to profile protein changes during the senescence of Petuniaxhybrida 'Mitchell Diploid' corollas. Total soluble proteins ...
متن کاملWind pollination and reproductive assurance in Linanthus parviflorus (Polemoniaceae), a self-incompatible annual.
Wind pollination was experimentally demonstrated in Linanthus parviflorus (Polemoniaceae), a predominantly beefly-pollinated, self-incompatible annual. Seed set in plants enclosed in mesh tents that excluded pollinators but allowed airborne pollen flow provided evidence for wind pollination, and the extent of seed set due to wind pollination was compared to that in open-pollinated controls and ...

Theresa M. Culley* Stephen G. Weller Ann K. Sakai Dept of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California–Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA. *e-mail: [email protected] Although much emphasis has been placed on specialist pollination systems, attention is shifting towards systems in which plants are visited by a variety of pollinators [1,2]. Until recently, examples of generalist pollinatio...
متن کاملPollination - A Biologically Inspired Paradigm for Self-Managing Systems
From the biology's point of view, pollination is an important step in the reproduction of seed plants. From the software engineer's view, pollination may evolve to a promising, biologically inspired paradigm for future, selfmanaging computing systems. This estimation is based on the self-* properties implied inherently by the pollination process between plants and insects. To exploit these char...
