摘要: Unlike most early-divergent flowering plants, Annonaceae species produce copious stigmatic fluid when receptive. We investigated the role of this exudate, and provided evidence to support three functions: as a food reward for pollinators; as a pollen germination medium; and as a medium that allows pollen tube growth between separate carpels.
