| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Some plants have closed-flowers (cleistogamous flowers), which exclusively engage self-pollination, besides ordinary open-flowers. We investigated the functions of closed-flowers in a common weed plant, Lamium amplexicaule, especially the interspecific relationships with pollination insects and closely related species. First, it is revealed that the pollination of L. amplexicaule relies on a few bee species, such as Anthophora pilipes and abundance of these bees has declined in many regions. Second, a series of allozyme analyses revealed that many populations of L. amplexicaule have reproduced dominantly via self-pollination. Finally, experiments using potted plants demonstrated that closely-related species, such as L. album var. barbatum and L. purpureum, induced closed-flowers to L. amplexicaule via some allelochemicals.
