Reflecting on mirror-image flowers: Investigating pollen transfer dynamics, morph ratio, and outcrossing rates in enantiostylous flowers.
Project summary:
The proposed study focuses on the functional aspects of the pollination mechanism in enantiostylous species such as pollen transfer dynamics, the role of morph ratio in reproductive success, inbreeding, and outcrossing rates, and overall reproductive assurance provided by enantiostylous flowers in wild Didymocarpus (Gesneriaceae). The grant is being requested towards initial molecular work involving ddRAD sequencing.
