Flower colour polymorphism (FCP) is the occurrence of at least two discrete flower colour
variants in the same population. Despite a vast body of research concerning the …

The development of flower scents was a crucial event in biological evolution, providing
olfactory signals by which plants can attract pollinators. In this study, bioinformatics …

Highlights•Some flowers change colour with age and/or after pollination.•Floral colour
change has evolved repeated but is uncommon.•Selection through modifying pollinator …

Many insular plant species inhabiting different archipelagos worldwide present typical
ornithophilous floral traits (eg copious nectar, red‐orange colours), but most of them are …

Background Recent studies show that galling Hymenoptera and Diptera are able to
synthesize the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (auxin) from tryptophan and that plant …

Pollinator shifts are considered to drive floral trait evolution, yet little is still known about the
modifications of petal epidermal surface at a biogeographic region scale. Here we …

The characteristics of petal epidermal conical cells affect the quality of the signals perceived
by various pollinators. This study aimed to identify variations in micromorphological …
