1

what are flowers

modified leaves

New cards
2

Sepals

Protect inner flower organs before bud opens

Frequently green

Can be free or fused to form tube

New cards
3

Petals

Typically colorful to attract pollinators

Can be free or fused to form tube

New cards
4

Stamen

Filament + anther

pollen producing

New cards
5

how many pollen sacs do anthers have

4

New cards
6

stigma

Sticky landing platform for pollen

sometimes its key and lock

New cards
7

style

Connects stigma with ovary

helps pollen go down to oavry

New cards
8

Ovary

An ovary can have one to many ovules

An ovule only has one egg cell

New cards
9

Carpels versus pistils

4 free carpels = 4 pistils

3 partially fused carpels* = 1 pistil

3 fully fused carpels* = 1 pistil

New cards
10

One carpel, one pistil, one ovary, one ovule

example

Cherry, peach, apricot, almond, olive

feritlization of single egg cell → cherry pit

New cards
11

Many carpels, many pistils, 1 ovary each, 1 ovule

Blackberry, raspberry

New cards
12

3 carpels, 1 pistil, 3 ovaries, many ovules per ovary

Cucumber, zucchini

New cards

between diff plants

New cards
27

who can self polinate

Adaptive under certain circumstances

hermaphrodite

New cards
28

which is better selfing or outcrossing

outcrossing

inbreeding can lead to inbredding depresion

New cards
29

how do Monoecious & hermaphroditic species avoid selfing

a. Temporal separation

b. Spatial separation

c. Self incompatibility

New cards
30

a. Temporal separation

Sexual phases separated in time

females open at one time and the males

New cards
31

example of male opening first

fireweed

New cards
32

example of female opneing first

blood root

New cards
33

b. Spatial separation

sexual organs within flowers are spaced out

New cards
34

Special type of spatial separation

(1) Individuals with high anthers and short styles

(2) Individuals with low anthers and long styles

New cards
35

c. Self incompatibility

make it so its gentcially imposible to mate

No fertilization with own pollen! Biochemical self recognition

New cards
36

out of all inbreeding avoidance which is the best

self incompatibility

New cards
37

Self incompatibility

situation in many other tree species in the Rose family

apple, pear, cherry, plum

New cards
38

• Temporal & spatial separations is best for

Gender specialization (mechanics) (getting pollen on insect )

New cards
39

what is self incompability the best for

Selfing avoidance

New cards
40

exam with Spatial, temporal separation AND self incompatibility!

sage

New cards
41

why does sage need all 3 mechanisim

T and S separations: ease of pollen pickup and delivery

→ better mechanics (less pollen waste)

Self-incompatibility: ultimate selfing avoidance!

New cards
42

what did invention of flowers: trigger

largest diversity of plants ever

New cards
43

Forces behind the evolution of flowers

Assurance of seed set

Sheer mechanics, bring female and male gametes together

Inbreeding avoidance

Create high-quality offspring, avoid selfing → avoid inbreeding depression

New cards
44

Pollination syndromes specilization

• Floral architecture to optimize pollen uptake and deposition

• Adaptation to pollinators’ senses for precise attraction (sight, smell, taste, touch)

• Adaptation to food requirements of pollinators (fitting reward) → Flower shape, color, odor; nature of reward

New cards
45

type of Pollination

abiotic and biotic

New cards
46

what is abiotic pollination

non directed and can not be trained

wind, water

New cards
47

what is biotic pollination

directed and cann be tarined

→ pollinator needs reward (pollen, nectar)

→ specialized organ construction

animals

New cards
48

how many plants are wing pollinated

10%

New cards
49

where is wind pollination most common

• Higher latitudes and altitudes

• Dry environments

• Open vegetation '

• Island floras

Habitats with fewer insects or generally more wind

New cards
50

examples of wind pollinated

grass

New cards
51

characteristics of wind pollinated

Small, inconspicuous flowers

No special colors

No nectar

Long filaments

Long (feathery branched) styles/stigmas

not as pretty

Very small fraction of pollen reaches stigma

→ cheap but not very efficient ‘

→ large quantity of pollen necessary

New cards
52

types of Biotic pollination

Specialists and Generalist

New cards
53

Specialists

rely on a more narrow group of pollinators Sometimes: exclusive relationship → one pollinator serves one plant = tight co-evolution

New cards
54

Generalist

flowering plants attract wide range of pollinators

New cards
55

example of generalist species

golden rod

New cards
56

charcetristics of generalist

Multiple flowers making up landing platforms for insects of different sizes to roam

Non-specialized food; pollen and nectar

have to deal with getting pollen from othre species cuz visits many other types of flowers

New cards
57

types of biotic specilized pollinators

bees, flies, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds

New cards
58

is bee polination that importnat and why

Bees: most important pollinator group

Pollinate more plant species than any other animal group

Bees originated appr. 80 MYA → diversified along with the evolutionary radiation of flowering plants

Adult bees live on nectar → nectaries, 30-35% sugar
Larvae (juveniles) live on pollen (rich in protein)

New cards
59

Bee pollination characteristics

Bright colors yellow, blue, UV '

→ bees do not see red

Nectar guides '

Nectar hidden → only bees can reach it (architecture) or open it (power)

New cards
60

Cheating flowers (bees) results

→ limits cost of reproduction

→ relies on the fact that there are more honest than cheating flowers

New cards
61

Cheating flowers (bees) example

→ smell, touch, form mimics female bees

→ attraction of males

→ males try to copulate

→ pollen uptake and deposition

→ coevolution!

New cards
62

Fly pollination

Dull, white or reddish flowers

Putrid or otherwise deceptive smell

melt away snow and pokes out atrract flies

New cards
63

Butterfly pollination

Sight and smell is nice and sweet

Red and orange as the most distinct colours

Long narrow flower tube → long proboscis of butterflies → no nectar robbing by non-pollinating insects

plat form for lands cuz they cant hover

New cards
64

Moth pollination

Moths: night-active

White or dull flowers with a very strong smell (mostly emitted after sunset)

Long and narrow floral tube

New cards
65

Hummingbirds pollination

Good sense of colour, attracted to red or yellow

Bad sense of smell → little flower odour

Birds lap up nectar with their tongue → more fluid nectar than for insects, and more of it

Long, tubular corolla suited to long beak, wider than for moths/butterflies

no platforms cuz can hover

Your granddad comes home from a walk in the Rouge Urban National Park and tells you about a beautiful flower he discovered. It was blue and he had never before seen a flower of that color. He sat down next to it because he wanted to see who would pollinate the flower, but it was rather windy and cold, so no pollinators came while he waited. What is the most likely pollinator?

bee

New cards
77
