Sentence examples for mode of pollination from inspiring English sources

Among the adaptations that the flowers have developed for this mode of pollination are bright colours (except reds, which bees cannot distinguish from black), contrasting markings (nectar guides), and often a sweet odour.

Finally, we did not find any association between mating system and mode of pollination, in contrast to previous studies that did not use phylogenetic corrections [ 20, 22, 60].

Both biotic and abiotic pollen dispersal were described for Cocos nucifera and for Castanea sativa; they were grouped together with species having abiotic mode of pollination.

Moreover, the mode of pollination did not qualitatively influence the results so we report the outcome of simulations where animal pollination was modeled.

Pollen-mediated gene flow, arising through hybridization, occurs at different distances depending on the crop's mode of pollination (wind, insect), the pollen's ability to disperse, and the degree of cross-pollination normally found in the crop.

We propose a hypothesis that a fully deceptive mode of pollination may evolve directly from mutualistic or partially mutualistic systems that maintained the fidelity of the original pollinator(s) even though rewards were lost.

We are interested in the diversification of breeding systems in the two species, particularly a usual mode of self pollination in Himalayan mayapple (Podophyllum hexandrum) which is achieved by movement of the pistil as a previous study suggested.

This mode of self-pollination, which occurs under windless, drought conditions when insects are scarce, adds to the variety of mechanisms that have evolved in angiosperms3,4 to ensure their reproductive success1,5.

In the present study, we assessed the frequency and mode of auto-pollination within and among species of a largely monophyletic group of Madagascan Bulbophyllum.

Moreover, a new mode of auto-pollination has recently been discovered in a slipper orchid from south-western China (Chen et al., 2012), involving the sliding of a liquefied anther onto the stigmatic surface.

The orchid family exemplifies this evolutionary trend but, because of a general lack of large-scale surveys on auto-pollination in orchid taxa, the incidence and modes of auto-pollination among (sub tropical orchids remain poorly known.
