Pollinator-mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity in Penstemon digitalis
Abstract
This data package contains datasets associated with a study examining pollinator-mediated pollen transfer, stigma receptivity, floral longevity, and seed production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae), an early spring-flowering perennial of prairie communities in northwestern Missouri, USA. The study evaluated how pollinator visitation and floral longevity interact to influence pollen accumulation, pollen tube growth, and reproductive success. Experiments included breeding system crosses, single-visit pollen deposition experiments, stigma pollen accumulation studies, pollen tube growth analyses, and seed production measurements. All datasets are associated with the manuscript: " Adaptive Floral Traits that Impact Stigma Pollen Load and Seed Production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae)"
