Pollination syndromes in the 21st century: where do we stand and where may we go?
AS Dellinger - New Phytologist, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Pollination syndromes, recurring suites of floral traits appearing in connection with specific
functional pollinator groups, have served for decades to organise floral diversity under a …

The persistence of polymorphisms across species radiations
Studies on polymorphisms have been foundational to our understanding of evolution. The
presence of different phenotypic morphs is sometimes considered a precursor to speciation …

What maintains flower colour variation within populations?
Natural selection acts on phenotypic trait variation. Understanding the mechanisms that
create and maintain trait variation is fundamental to understanding the breadth of diversity …

Major flower pigments originate different colour signals to pollinators
Flower colour is mainly due to the presence and type of pigments. Pollinator preferences
impose selection on flower colour that ultimately acts on flower pigments. Knowing how …

Phylogenomics reveals convergent evolution of red-violet coloration in land plants and the origins of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway
The flavonoids, one of the largest classes of plant secondary metabolites, are found in
lineages that span the land plant phylogeny and play important roles in stress responses …

[HTML][HTML] Many different flowers make a bouquet: lessons from specialized metabolite diversity in plant–pollinator interactions
Flowering plants have evolved extraordinarily diverse metabolites that underpin the floral
visual and olfactory signals enabling plant–pollinator interactions. In some cases, these …
