Habitat-specific effects of flowering advance on fruit-set success of alpine plants: a long-term record of flowering phenology and fruit-set success of Rhododendron aureum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Alpine Botany"
DOI: 10.1007/s00035-021-00248-9
Abstract: Global warming tends to accelerate flowering phenology of alpine plants, and it may cause a decrease in fruit production due to lower pollinator activity and/or higher risk of frost damage earlier in the season. Because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.scienta.2018.11.081
Abstract: Abstract Flower sex expression and sex ratio are the two plant functional traits likely to explain pollination efficiency in monoecious animal-pollinated plants. Cucurbitaceae crop plants are staminate flower-biased, but, relatively little is known about the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41438-021-00568-1
Abstract: Auxin is a key phytohormone that modulates fruit formation in many fleshy fruits through the regulation of cell division and expansion. Auxin content rapidly increases after pollination and the manipulation in its levels may lead… read more here.
