Flower morphology represents one of the most fascinating aspects of plant biology, reflecting both evolutionary adaptations and reproductive strategies. This session will provide a detailed overview of floral organ structures, including sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels, and their functional significance. Experts will explain how variations in flower morphology enhance pollination efficiency by attracting specific pollinators. Participants will also discuss the genetic underpinnings of flower development, such as the ABC model for flower organ identity. The presentation focuses on flower symmetry, color, fragrance, and nectar secretion as drivers of reproductive success. Researchers will point to morphological diversity in monocot and dicot flowers, and specialized evolution in orchids and other unusual flowers. The session will also include evolutionary trends like the evolution from wind pollination to animal pollination. Attendees will learn about contemporary methods applied to the study of floral architecture ranging from molecular genetics to scanning electron microscopy. Applications include breeding strategies of crops for enhancing pollination efficiency and yield. By integrating structural, genetic, and ecological approaches, this session advances understanding of how flowers are the key to plant reproductive success and biodiversity.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
