Pollen sensitivity to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) suggests floral structure evolution in alpine plants.

Scientific reports - 31 Mar 2014

Zhang Chan, Yang Yong-Ping, Duan Yuan-Wen

Abstract excerpt

Various biotic and abiotic factors are known to exert selection pressures on floral traits, but the influence of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light on the evolution of flower structure remains relatively unexplored. We have examined the effectiveness of flower structure in blocking radiation and the effects of UV-B on pollen viability in 42 species of alpine plants in the Hengduan Mountains, China. Floral forms were...
