Total control - pollen presentation and floral longevity in Loasaceae (blazing star family) are modulated by light, temperature and pollinator visitation rates.

Stamen movements can be understood as a mechanism influencing pollen presentation and increasing outbreeding success of hermaphroditic flowers via optimized male function. In this study we experimentally analyzed the factors regulating autonomous and thigmonastic (triggered by flower visitors) stame...
