“…The characteristic wide distribution and long-range seed dispersal of mangrove plants may also favour a broad range of pollen vectors (Azuma et al, 2002). Mangroves are adapted to a generalized type of pollinators and thus competition for the available pollinators is reduced (Tomlinson, 1986).…”

“…Surprisingly, less is known about floral biology, pollination, and breeding systems, although knowledge of the effectiveness of floral mechanics and genetic isolating mechanisms is an important prerequisite to the study of successful dispersal and establishment (Primack et al, 1981;Tomlinson, 1986;Juncosa and Tomlinson, 1987;Clarke and Meyerscough, 1991;Azuma et al, 2002;Ge et al, 2003;Chiou-Rong et al, 2005;Coupland et al, 2006). In India, a few studies provide some preliminary accounts of floral biology and pollination in some mangrove plants (Solomon Raju, 1990;Solomon Raju et al, 1994;Subba Reddi and Solomon Raju, 1997;Solomon Raju and Jonathan, 2008;Jonathan and Solomon Raju, 2009;Pandit and Choudhury, 2001;Jonathan, 2009;Rama Mohan, 2009).…”

Floral biology, sexual system, breeding system, pollinators, fruiting and seed dispersal aspects of five mangrove associate species, namely, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris trifoliata, Suaeda maritima, S. monoica, and S. nudiflora were studied. All these species are hermaphroditic, self-compatible, and exhibit mixed breeding systems adapted for pollination by external agents. C. inerme and D. trifoliata are principally entomophilous, while Suaeda species are ambophilous. The study suggests that these plant species are important constituents of mangrove forests. C. inerme and D. trifoliata are useful in stabilizing the banks of back water creeks, while Suaeda species are useful to carpet the saline areas and desalinate the soils which are subsequently useful for agricultural activities. Articolul prezintă studiul asupra biologiei florale, sistemului sexual, sistemului de creștere, polenizatorilor, rodirii și răspândirii semințelor la cinci specii de mangrove asociate, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris trifoliata, Suaeda maritima, S. monoica și S. nudiflora. Toate aceste specii sunt hermafrodite, auto compatibile și prezintă sisteme de creștere mixte adaptate pentru polenizare de către agenții externi. C. inerme și D. trifoliata sunt în principal entomofile în timp ce speciile Suaeda sunt ambophilous. Studiul sugerează că aceste specii de plante sunt constituenți importanți ai pădurilor de mangrove. C. inerme și D. trifoliata sunt utile în stabilizarea malurilor cursurilor de apă, în timp ce speciile Suaeda sunt utile pentru covorul zonelor saline și desalinizarea solurilor care sunt ulterior utile pentru activități agricole. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: J. S. R. Aluri et al. -Reproductive biology of mangrove plants (31 ~ 68) 32 INTRODUCTIONMangrove conservation has received an increased importance in the recent past as research has increased the understanding of the values, functions, and attributes of mangrove ecosystems and the role they play in providing important ecological services and livelihoods for the mangrove associated communities. Mangrove forests are among one of the world's most productive tropical ecosystems. They are now one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world due to natural and demographic pressures (Roy and Krishnan, 2005). The mangrove vegetation is comprised of unique plant communities consisting of evergreen trees and shrubs belonging to several unrelated families growing in tropical and subtropical intertidal regions where there is constant intertidal exchange of sea water and freshwater (Spalding et al., 1997).The focus of research on the reproductive biology of mangrove plants has almost exclusively been on the fruit and seed or seedling dispersal stage. Surprisingly, less is known about floral biology, pollination, and breeding systems, although knowledge of the effectiveness of floral mechanics and genetic isolating mechanisms is an important prerequisite to the study of successful dispersal and establishment (Primack et al., 1981;Tomlinson, 1986;Juncosa and Tomlinson, 1987;Clarke and Meye...

“…Conversely, the scent of myophilous and melittophilous palms was found to contain a mixture of numerous compounds in smaller total amounts, indicating that scent is probably less important than visual cues. Azuma et al (2002) included Nypa fruticans in a general study of floral scents emitted by mangrove plant species and revealed a high content of four different carotenoid derivaties that are known to attract insects. Among these were a beta-ionone which is highly attractive to certain beetles (Donaldson et al, 1990).…”

† Background With more than 90 published studies of pollination mechanisms, the palm family is one of the better studied tropical families of angiosperms. Understanding palm-pollinator interactions has implications for tropical silviculture, agroforestry and horticulture, as well as for our understanding of palm evolution and diversification. We review the rich literature on pollination mechanisms in palms that has appeared since the last review of palm pollination studies was published 25 years ago. † Scope and Conclusions Visitors to palm inflorescences are attracted by rewards such as food, shelter and oviposition sites. The interaction between the palm and its visiting fauna represents a trade-off between the services provided by the potential pollinators and the antagonistic activities of other insect visitors. Evidence suggests that beetles constitute the most important group of pollinators in palms, followed by bees and flies. Occasional pollinators include mammals (e.g. bats and marsupials) and even crabs. Comparative studies of palm-pollinator interactions in closely related palm species document transitions in floral morphology, phenology and anatomy correlated with shifts in pollination vectors. Synecological studies show that asynchronous flowering and partitioning of pollinator guilds may be important regulators of gene flow between closely related sympatric taxa and potential drivers of speciation processes. Studies of larger plant-pollinator networks point out the importance of competition for pollinators between palms and other flowering plants and document how the insect communities in tropical forest canopies probably influence the reproductive success of palms. However, published studies have a strong geographical bias towards the South American region and a taxonomic bias towards the tribe Cocoseae. Future studies should try to correct this imbalance to provide a more representative picture of pollination mechanisms and their evolutionary implications across the entire family.
