Multiple Plantago species (Plantaginaceae) modify floral reflectance and color in response to thermal change.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Understanding how plant reproduction responds to temperature has become increasingly important because of global climate change. Temperature-sensitive plasticity in floral reflectance is likely involved in some of these responses. Such plasticity, which underlies thermoregulatory ability, affects reproductive success in Plantago lanceolata. To see whether other Plantago species also show...
