Petal micromorphology and its relationship to pollination.

Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany) - 1 Mar 2017

Costa V B S, Pimentel R M M, Chagas M G S, Alves G D, Castro C C

Abstract excerpt

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 characteristics of flower petals and their relationship to melittophily, ornithophily and chiropterophily pollination systems. The petals of 11 species were analysed using scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy and the...
