Asteraceae Paradox: Chemical and Mechanical Protection of Taraxacum Pollen

Volume: 11, Issue: 5, Pages: 304 - 304

Abstract
Excessive pollen harvesting by bees can compromise the reproductive success of plants. Plants have therefore evolved different morphological structures and floral cues to narrow the spectrum of pollen feeding visitors. Among "filtering" mechanisms, the chemical and mechanical protection of pollen might shape bee-flower interactions and restrict pollen exploitation to a specific suite of visitors such as observed in Asteraceae. Asteraceae pollen...
