This research explores the role of nectar-inhabiting yeasts in plant-pollinator interactions, focusing on their phenotypic diversity and impact on pollination success. By analyzing over 2000 yeast strains, the project aims to uncover how these yeasts influence nectar properties and plant fitness.
Nectar inhabiting yeasts are increasingly considered as important third players in plant-pollinator mutualisms.
Although it was generally assumed that nectar properties represent intrinsic plant features that are stable in time, it has recently been shown that nectar yeasts, may change nectar chemistry and attractiveness, and consequently pollination success and plant fitness.
However, underlying mechanisms how yeasts affect pollinator behaviour and reproductive success are still poorly understo…
