  23. On the Function of Flowers 1. Review of reproductive biology 2. Pollination Ecology -life cycle -variation in flowers -precise placement -outcrossing -pollination syndromes

  24. Three paths for pollen flow: selfing: 1. Within flower 2. Between flowers 3. outcrossing (between plants)

  25. Red Maple Flowers staminate pistillate

  26. Figure 38.3e Maize, a monoecious species

  27. syndromes

  28. Foxgloves and outcrossing

  29. Figure 38.3bx1 Foxglove

  30. Three components to outcrossing in foxglove 1. Young flowers are male, old are female 2. Young flowers are nearer the top 3. Bees fly up. Male zone Then start over at the bottom Bees fly up Female zone

  31. On the Function of Flowers 1. Review of reproductive biology 2. Pollination Ecology -life cycle -variation in flowers -precise placement -outcrossing -pollination syndromes

  32. -pollination syndromes Hummingbird -- -long tube -red color -abundant nectar - no odor - no landing

  33. -pollination syndromes Bat -- -abundant pollen -white or drab color -abundant nectar - good odor - strong landing

  34. Banana (Musa), pollinated by bats, dispersed by monkeys
