This project explores the evolution and function of floral signals in plants, focusing on how these signals attract pollinators while deterring herbivores. It aims to understand the balance between mutualistic and antagonistic interactions in plant-pollinator relationships.
Most angiosperms plants use animals as vector for their gametes, and the interaction of plants with their pollinators represents a key mutualism for ecosystem functioning as well as for human nutrition.
For maintaining interactions with pollinators, plants have evolved floral signals, such as color and fragrance.
In the proposed research, functions and evolution of floral signals will be investigated in model systems representing key components of ecosystems and agriculture.
