Impact of air pollution on reproductive biology of plants: Mechanisms and consequences Open
Reproductive fitness is paramount to a plant’s ecological and evolutionary processes, establishing species persistence, population dynamics, and ecosystem stability. The consequences of a plant’s reduced reproductive fitness extend beyond …

Anther mimicry in an African orchid pollinated by pollen‐feeding beetles Open
Flowers of many species have yellow markings that appear to mimic anthers or pollen and attract the attention of pollen‐seeking insects (usually female bees). We investigated a putative case of anther mimicry in Disa similis, an orchid wit…

Pollination research in India: Current status, future vision and conservation implications Open
Pollination is a dynamic ecological interaction, that has evolved to promote the survival and reproductive success of flowering plants and their pollinators. Human‐induced environmental changes in recent decades have reduced the density an…

Topological analysis of orchid-fungal endophyte interaction shows lack of phylogenetic preference Open
Fungal endophytes are known to play a vital role in perpetuation and survival of orchids. While orchid–mycorrhizal relationship has been studied in detail, dynamics of orchid–non-mycorrhizal associations are insufficiently explored. There …

Contrasting Reproductive Strategies of Two Nymphaea Species Affect Existing Natural Genetic Diversity as Assessed by Microsatellite Markers: Implications for Conservation and Wetlands Restoration Open
Nymphaea , commonly known as water lily, is the largest and most widely distributed genus in the order Nymphaeales. The importance of Nymphaea in wetland ecosystems and their increased vulnerability make them a great choice for conservatio…

Interaction between <i>Cymbidium aloifolium</i> and <i>Apis cerana</i>: Incidence of an outlier in modular pollination network of oil flowers Open
So far, oil‐rewarding flowers are known to be pollinated only by oil‐collecting bees, which gather and use lipids for larval feed and nest building. As honeybees do not have oil‐collecting appendages on their legs, they have not been assoc…

Breeding System and Response of the Pollinator to Floral Larceny and Florivory Define the Reproductive Success in Aerides odorata Open
Consumption of pollination reward by felonious means in a plant species can influence the foraging behavior of its pollinator and eventually the reproductive success. So far, studies on this aspect are largely confined to interaction invol…

A conspectus of orchid studies in India Open
Orchidaceae represents the largest family of flowering plants in India.The country has come a long way from an era of exploration phase, identification and preparation of inventories of orchids, yet it appears to be an unfinished endeavour…

Twelve new additions in the orchid flora of Tripura, north-east India Open
Despite the discovery of several new plant species from India every year, there is dearth of information on species of orchid, especially from the North Eastern Region . As a detailed survey seemed necessary for reliable documentation, we …
