This project investigates how flower characteristics influence bee foraging behavior to enhance pollination in crops. By studying the genetic and chemical traits of melons, it aims to improve crop-pollinator relationships, ultimately supporting food security in developing regions.
Animal pollinators are vital for life on earth.
While human population keeps growing, pollinator populations are dropping, thus threatening food security.
In agriculture, the main insect pollinators are bees, by far.The lack of knowledge on how domesticated plants attract and reward bees has hampered the selection of varieties with improved and mutually beneficial crop-pollinator relationships.
We propose to investigate flower features, including developmental, morphological and chemical cues, i…
