Reproductive biology in Acacia caven (Mol.) Mol. (Leguminosae) in the central region of Argentina
TLDR
Observations support the idea of the inflorescence as a specialized reproductive unit with gynoecia functioning as fixed modules in which all or none of its ovules develop into seeds.About:

Pollination ecology of acacias (Fabaceae, Mimosoideae)
TL;DR: The pollination ecology of acacias worldwide is reviewed, discussing (1) the rewards provided to flower visitors, (2) the temporal patterns of flowering and reward provision and (3) the taxonomic composition of flower visitor assemblages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollination biology and breeding system of Acacia senegal
TL;DR: Phenology, pollination biology and breeding system were investigated in three populations of Acacia senegal located in Delhi and Rajasthan, finding that self-incompatibility appears to operate inside the embryo sac.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of pollen–pistil interactions and their relevance to the reproductive biology of Acacia
TL;DR: Some of the published work on the reproductive biology of acacias is reviewed, with particular reference to anatomy, floral development and pollen–stigma interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomic Revision of South American Species of the Genus Acacia Subgenus Acacia (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae)
TL;DR: Most of the species found in the South American flora were found to be relatively homogeneous, as indicated by the tight clusters formed in the PCA plots, and the data suggest little gene flow between species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mating system and population structure of Acacia aroma and A. macracantha (Fabaceae).
TL;DR: The hypothesis that A. aroma and A. macracantha represent a single polymorphic species rather than two distinct species is supported.

Pollen-ovule ratios: a conservative indicator of breeding systems in flowering plants
TL;DR: The overall objective is to show that PIO's reflect the likelihood of sufficient pollen grains reaching each stigma to result in maximum seed set and suggest that PI O's are integrated with other facets of a plant's breeding system.

Plant reproductive ecology of a secondary deciduous tropical forest in venezuela
TL;DR: The breeding systems, reproductive efficacies, and densities of selected trees, shrubs, vines, and hemiparasites of a secondary decduous mid-elevation tropical forest in Venezuela are investigated to test whether intra-specific population density affects inter-individual pollinator movement and hence seed set under obligate outbreeding.

Reproductive biology and interspecific hybridisation of Acacia mangium and Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae).
TL;DR: There appeared to be no major fertility barriers to interspecific hybridisation between Acacia mangium and A. auriculiformis, and hybrids could occur spontaneously via synchronous flowering and common insect visitors.
