Pollinator behaviour and the evolutionary genetics of petal surface texture in the Solanaceae
Conical cells in the petal epidermis are a common trait across the angiosperms, and influence pollinator behaviour and pollination success. This work explores two key aspects of conical cell evolution: firstly, why conical cells are so prevalent across many diverse species, and secondly, why some …

Petal cell shape and flower-pollinator interaction in Nicotiana
… affect pollination success in flowering plants. Conical epidermal cells may increase grip for insect pollinators and enhance flower colouration compared to non-conical cells. Nicotiana (Solanaceae) presents a diverse range of petal cell shapes. Interestingly, sister species in at least two …

On the molecular pathways supporting the development of structurally coloured cuticle in Hibiscus trionum
… by the presence of smooth patches of cells and the presence of conical cells in one of them. Further characterisation of the mutant phenotypes suggested the importance of the cell shape and the thickness of the cuticle to achieve proper bucking. Finally, the adhesion properties of …

Mechanisms controlling cell shape patterning in petals
… petal patterning: its flowers produce conical cells in the petal distal region and flat polygonal cells in the petal proximal region, constituting an excellent system for investigating the different mechanisms underlaying the patterned production of two distinct cell shapes across the …
