Comparative Ontogeny of Hermaphrodite and Pistillate Florets in Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae)

Abstract: The inflorescence of Helianthus annuus L. has two types of flowers (or florets) on a single capitulum; central hermaphrodite disc florets and peripheral pistillate ray florets. In both florets, reproductive development starts with the conversion of apical meristem into floral meristem that will produce floral organ primordia. The only difference between hermaphrodite and pistillate florets in apical meristem stage is that apical meristem of the pistillate florets is not as apparent and curvaceous as apical mer… Show more

“…The outermost whorl of the inflorescence is surrounded by large ray flowers with monosymmetric (zygomorphic) corolla, while the internal whorls are filled by smaller and polysymmetric (actinomorphic) hermaphrodite disk flowers. Zygomorphic ray flowers have an attractive role for pollinators but they are sterile because they retain only filamentous remnants of aborted stamens and/or vestigial styles and stigmas and empty ovaries (Çetinbas and Ünal, ; Knowles, ).…”

Zygomorphic ray flowers have an attractive role for pollinators but they are sterile because they retain only filamentous remnants of aborted stamens and/or vestigial styles and stigmas and empty ovaries (Çetinbas and € Unal, 2012;Knowles, 1978). In sunflower, some mutations affect inflorescence and/or florets development and symmetry (Berti et al, 2005;Chapman et al, 2012;Cockerell, 1915;Fambrini et al, 2003aFambrini et al, , b, 20062011a, b;Fick, 1976;Knowles, 1978;Luczkiewicz, 1975).…”

“…De acuerdo a una hipótesis propuesta por Tucker (1988) la pérdida de la iniciación de un órgano en un verticilo determinado altera el desarrollo del verticilo siguiente, pero esto se evita en caso de reducción de órganos -luego de sucedida la iniciación-. En concordancia con esto, se ha comprobado que en las flores pistiladas de Helianthus annuus (Cetinbas & Ünal, 2012) los estambres nunca son iniciados, y como consecuencia el desarrollo de los primordios de carpelos se detiene luego de cierto tiempo. Estudios de desarrollo en Senecio vernalis han comprobado que los carpelos se desarrollan normalmente cuando los primordios de estambres desaparecen o se reducen luego de iniciados (Oraei et al, 2013).…”
