The Caryophyllales have the highest diversity in androecial patterns among flowering plants
with stamen numbers ranging from 1 up to 4,000. Thanks to the recent progress in …

This review based on a morphological and developmental perspective reveals a striking
diversity in shapes and evolutionary trends in the gynoecium of core Caryophyllales that …

Floral scent often intensifies during periods of pollinator activity, but the degree of this
synchrony may vary among scent compounds depending on their function. Related plant …

Abstract Background and Aims Floral development is a powerful tool to infer homologies of
floral organs and to understand floral evolution. Caryophyllaceae is a major family of core …

• Premise of the study: Caryophyllales are highly diverse in the structure of the perianth and
androecium and show a mode of floral development unique in eudicots, reflecting the …

Shifts in pollination may drive adaptive diversification of reproductive systems within plant
lineages. The monophyletic genus Schiedea is a Hawaiian lineage of 32 extant species …

Premise Floral scent is a key aspect of plant reproduction, but its intraspecific variation at
multiple scales is poorly understood. Sexual dimorphism and temporal regulation of scent …

Premise of research. In Caryophyllaceae with a gynoecium isomerous with the other floral
whorls, carpels can be in either antesepalous or antepetalous position. Morphologists have …

Methods Floral volatiles from inflorescences of plants grown in a common greenhouse
environment (females, males, and hermaphrodites) from twelve populations (four islands) …

Aims In flowering plants, the ability of pollinators to recognize hybrids through chemical
communication may mediate gene flow. Hybrids may produce novel or reduced floral scent …
