Pollination Ecology by Amots Dafni
A Practical Approach
Describes the techniques used to study pollination mechanisms, providing the information necessary in order to carry out the experimental protocols provided. The book emphasizes field study, and the techniques described are applicable to all environments, even where specialist equipment is limited.Pollination is one of the most important processes that determines the diversity of plants, in terms of their colours, yields of fruit, and most other genetic factors. The mechanisms of pollination are very different depending on the type of plant, and they often rely on the activities of insects. Because of this diversity, pollination is greatly affected by the ecology of the environment on which the plant is growing. Hence detailed knowledge of the pollination process and how this can be affected by ecological factors is crucial to a wide range of people working with plants, from researchers to farmers. This book describes in detail the techniques used to study pollination mechanisms, thus providing the reader with all the necessary key information needed to carry out the experimental protocols provided. This book is aimed at researchers and advanced students in plant science, botany, horticulture, plant breeding, conservation, taxonomy and ecology and those working in the commercial areas of plant breeding, seed production, and horticulture. |
