Ontogenetic re-action norms in Lobelia siphilitica (Lobeliaceae): response to shading.

Tests of two hypotheses concerning pollen competition in a self-compatible, long-styled species (Lobelia cardinalis: Lobeliaceae).

Except for a few families (Aizoaceae, Campanulaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Solanaceae, Portulacaceae, Lobeliaceae and Malvaceae), most of the flowers that showed initial wilting have been found to be insensitive to exogenous ethylene (Agavaceae, Compositae, Haemodoraceae, Iridaceae, Liliaceae, Umbelliferae, Gentianaceae and Euphorbiaceae) and most of the flowers showing initial abscission have been found to be ethylene sensitive (Acanthaceae, Boraginaceae, Geraniaceae, Gesneriaceae, Labiatae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae, Rubiaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Valerianaceae).

Nonetheless, many species produce dry, dehiscent, or explosive fruits with individual seeds as diaspores (e.g., many species in the families Amaryllidaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Campanulaceae, Lobeliaceae, Liliaceae, Orchidaceae, Papaveraceae, and Scrophulariaceae).

From an ecological and evolutionary point of view, Asteraceae (the sunflower family), Campanulaceae / Lobeliaceae (the bell-flower family) and Apocynaceae / Asclepiadaceae (the milkweed family) have some of the most specialized pollen presentation mechanisms in the plant kingdom.

In this paper, we examine the responses of plants from two populations of Lobelia siphilitica (Lobeliaceae) to three levels of light intensity.
