Reproductive biology of Amasonia obovata Gleason (Laminaceae)

Abstract: Floral mechanisms that ensure seed production via autogamy are more likely to occur in species growing in environments where pollination is scarce. Amasonia obovata was studied in the State of Mato Grosso-Brazil, from 2009, to analyze the morphological and reproductive characteristics, aside from investigating the association of the reproductive success with the pollinator frequency and identity. The flowering and fruiting of A. obovata was concentrated in a period of five months during the rainy season. The d… Show more

“…Fully developed flowers were used and stored in flasks containing 70% alcohol. The height of the following structures was measured in the collected flowers using a stereomicroscope and graph paper (Schvinn et al, 2014): bracteoles, calyx, corolla, lateral petals, anther crest, pistil and stigma, anther, nectariferous glands, and ovary. The mean and standard deviation of each floral structure measurement were determined for each hour analyzed.…”

“…Changes in flower morphology may affect the position of the reproductive organs (anthers and stigma) and pollen dispersal [8] [9] and can determine the reproductive success rates of each morph [10], resulting in a shift from isoplethy to anisoplethy or even to monomorphism. In addition, the breakdown of the self-incompatibility system may be the result of a loss of pollinators [11], and could evolve in parallel with floral morphometry affecting herkogamous reciprocity.…”
