Reproductive patterns of selected understorey trees in the Malaysian rain forest: the sexual species
TLDR
Investigations were carried out on the floral, fruit and seed biology, and the embryology of representatives of the Sapindaceae and Bombacaceae which occur in the lower canopy of the lowland rain forest of Peninsular Malaysia, finding cross-compatibility and outbreeding in all species examined.About:

Do mutualisms matter? Assessing the impact of pollinator and disperser disruption on plant extinction
TL;DR: Analysis of case studies suggests that plants often compensate for high risk in one of the three categories by low risk in another, and some systems, including elements of the Cape flora and lowland tropical rain forest, lack compensatory traits and the risk of plant extinction from failed mutualism is high.

Fossil Clusiaceae from the late Cretaceous (Turonian) of New Jersey and implications regarding the history of bee pollination.
William L. Crepet,Kevin C. Nixon +1 more
TL;DR: The Turonian flora from Sayreville New Jersey includes one of the world's most diverse assemblages of Cretaceous angiosperm flowers and the earliest fossil evidence of the family Clusiaceae; the fossil flowers share several characters that suggest a similar mode of pollination.

Studies on the reproductive biology of Melastomataceae in “cerrado” vegetation
TL;DR: Controlled pollinations and observations of pollen tube growth, pollen fertility and cytological data were studied in 11 species of Melastomataceae growing in “cerrado” in SE Brazil, suggesting the existence of very extensive apomictic complexes comparable to those reported in mainly temperate genera of Asteraceae andRosaceae.

Gene Flow in Seed Plants
TL;DR: Gene dispersal (flow) within and between plant populations has been of continuous interest to plant breeders and seed producers for many decades, but only during the past two decades have a large body of plant evolutionists become interested in information accruing from these studies, and in the rates of gene flow in wild populations.
