We investigated the effects of plant density on cleistogamous (CL) and chasmogamous (CH) flowering phenology and seed production in a natural Impatiens capensis population, by censusing individually ...

The magic gene has the effect of reducing the amount of UV light reflected from the petals, making flowers harder for bees to see. But (and this is where the magic comes in) reducing UV reflection ...

The induction of flowering is of major importance from an ecological and agronomic point of view. Timely and synchronous flowering is essential to optimize pollination and allow seed production and ...
