Intraspecific variation in the ultraviolet colour proportion of flowers in Brassica rapa L

2005-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In Brassica rapa L., intraspecific variation in the ultraviolet (UV) colour proportion invisible to humans but visible to insect pollinators, was investigated by UV-photographing. After digitization of each photograph, the UV-absorbing area (UVA) and total flower area (FA) were evaluated by means of image analysis. The ratio of UVA to FA represented the UV colour proportion (UVP). Nested ANOVA indicated that the p...
