"Plant Reproductive Ecology: Recent Advances" ed. by Anjana Rustagi, Bharti Chaudhry

This book explores the diversity of flower symmetry and the evolutionary patterns of internal structures of generative organs in angiosperms. The book also covers the diversity of plant-pollinator interactions, the impact of non-native exotic plant communities on native plants and pollinators, and strategies for the restoration of pollinator communities.

Plant reproductive ecology has emerged as an indispensable discipline for enhancing crop productivity and conserving biodiversity. The adaptive significance of variation in traits associated with floral biology, pollination, seed dispersal, and seedling establishment is an integral component of plant reproductive ecology and evolutionary biology. The rapidly emerging global crisis of declining pollinators poses a major threat to food security.
