This is the first time a fungus has proven capable of manipulating plant reproduction.

A PowerPoint presentation on various aspects of plant reproduction.

In contrast, delayed flowering results in dramatic reductions in plant reproduction through reduced pollination.

Contrary to their predictions, advanced blooming time did not reduce pollinator visits but caused low plant reproduction due to frost damage.

That study showed how removing a bumblebee species disrupted floral fidelity, or specialization, among the remaining bees in the system, leading to less successful plant reproduction.

«As phenology is advancing around the globe, there are concerns that plant - pollinator interactions may be disrupted through phenological mismatches, or mismatches in the timing of when flowers bloom and their pollinators emerge, leading to reduced plant reproduction,» says lead author Zak Gezon, who conducted the research as a doctoral student at Dartmouth and who is now a conservation biologist with Disney's Animal Programs.

«Climate change's frost harms early plant reproduction.»

Altering blooming time often affects plant reproduction and survival, but the mechanisms behind these changes are not well understood.

These changes had direct implications for plant reproduction: Larkspurs produced about one - third fewer seeds when one of the bumblebee species was removed, compared to the larkspurs in the control groups.

Floral fidelity clearly benefits plants, because a pollinator visit will only lead to plant reproduction when the pollinator is carrying pollen from the same plant species.

«This project is particularly exciting because in recent years, the group of investigators involved has made a lot of progress toward understanding some of the molecules that are involved in flowering plant reproduction by focusing on Arabidopsis,» Johnson said.

«Our goal is to use comparative genomics approaches to fill in gaps in our understanding of how plant reproduction works and to define the aspects of the mechanisms we've discovered so far that are either ancient or new innovations.»

The researchers found that altering blooming time caused low plant reproduction, but the cause of the reduction depended on the direction that the blooming time was altered.

Given bees» pollen - hoarding prowess, researchers wondered how they came to play such a significant role in plant reproduction.

The results show how reduced competition among pollinators disrupts floral fidelity, or specialization, among the remaining bees in the system, leading to less successful plant reproduction.

«This will be a crucial step in our quest to develop tools to manipulate plant reproduction in our favor and improve crop productivity.»

Mark Johnson, with former graduate student Kristin Beale, has used Arabadopsis as a model to study the evolution of plant reproduction.

The researchers used two large - scale field experiments to assess how altering the phenology of the western spring beauty affects plant - pollinator interactions and plant reproduction.

And plant reproduction, oy.

In response, the pollinator population would decline, lowering plant reproduction.

This is the first time animals have been found to play this role in plant reproduction, say Mats Olsson and Rick Shine of the University of Sydney.

Previously a Principal Investigator at the USDA / ARS - UC - Berkeley Plant Gene Expression Center; research focused on the molecular biology of plant reproduction.

Filled with active, visual and practical tasks about plant cells, plant parts, plant functions, plant reproduction, photosynthesis, flower structure, pollination, germination, seed structure and development.
