Nectar is an important attractant for pollinators, and a plant’s success in sexual reproduction can be influenced by the amount and concentration of nectar produced by its flowers. We studied nectar production over flower lifetime in Iris fulva, Iris brevicaulis, and four classes of hybrids—reciprocal F1's and backcrosses—between these species. Iris fulva produced less concentrated nectar than did I. brevicaulis, whereas I. brevicaulis flowers had a shorter life span. Hybrids were not intermediate, but they had the high nectar concentration of I. brevicaulis combined with the long life span of I. fulva flowers. Nectar production and concentration declined after the first day in all classes, but flowers continued to produce nectar until they were completely wilted. Backcrosses did not show a shift in mean or increased variation for the characters that distinguished the parental species; backcrosses toward I. fulva retained the high nectar concentration of I. brevicaulis, and backcrosses toward I. brevicaulis did not have a reduced flower life span. Overall, F1 hybrid flowers produced the highest amounts of nectar and nectar sugar over their life spans. These results, together with previously obtained data on pollinator choice in mixed arrays of the same flower classes, show that F1 hybrids between these species do not suffer from reduced attractiveness to pollinators. F1 individuals produced more nectar and nectar sugar than did their parents, and thus, they are possibly even more attractive to pollinators that forage for nectar.

路易斯安那州鸢尾杂种的花蜜生产

花蜜是传粉媒介的重要引诱剂,植物有性繁殖的成功受其花朵产生的花蜜数量和浓度的影响。我们研究了黄鸢尾、短尾鸢尾以及这些物种之间的四类杂种(互惠 F1 和回交)在整个花期的花蜜生产。与 I. brevicaulis 相比,Iris fulva 产生的花蜜浓度较低,而 I. brevicaulis 花的寿命较短。杂种不是中间的,但它们具有高浓度的短叶白花蜜和长寿命的黄花叶白花。第一天后,所有班级的花蜜产量和浓度都下降了,但花朵继续生产花蜜,直到它们完全枯萎。回交没有显示区分亲本物种的特征的平均变化或增加的变异;向 I. fulva 回交保留了 I. brevicaulis 的高浓度花蜜,向 I. brevicaulis 回交没有缩短花寿命。总体而言,F1 杂交花在其整个生命周期中产生了最多的花蜜和花蜜糖。这些结果,连同先前获得的相同花类混合阵列中传粉媒介选择的数据,表明这些物种之间的 F1 杂种不会降低对传粉媒介的吸引力。F1 个体产生的花蜜和花蜜糖比它们的父母多,因此,它们可能对觅食花蜜的传粉媒介更具吸引力。fulva 保留了 I. brevicaulis 的高花蜜浓度,并且回交 I. brevicaulis 没有缩短花的寿命。总体而言,F1 杂交花在其整个生命周期中产生了最多的花蜜和花蜜糖。这些结果,连同先前获得的相同花类混合阵列中传粉媒介选择的数据,表明这些物种之间的 F1 杂种不会降低对传粉媒介的吸引力。F1 个体产生的花蜜和花蜜糖比它们的父母多,因此,它们可能对觅食花蜜的传粉媒介更具吸引力。fulva 保留了 I. brevicaulis 的高花蜜浓度,并且回交 I. brevicaulis 没有缩短花的寿命。总体而言,F1 杂交花在其整个生命周期中产生了最多的花蜜和花蜜糖。这些结果,连同先前获得的相同花类混合阵列中传粉媒介选择的数据,表明这些物种之间的 F1 杂种不会降低对传粉媒介的吸引力。F1 个体产生的花蜜和花蜜糖比它们的父母多,因此,它们可能对觅食花蜜的传粉媒介更具吸引力。F1 杂交花在其整个生命周期中产生的花蜜和花蜜糖含量最高。这些结果,连同先前获得的相同花类混合阵列中传粉媒介选择的数据,表明这些物种之间的 F1 杂种不会降低对传粉媒介的吸引力。F1 个体产生的花蜜和花蜜糖比它们的父母多,因此,它们可能对觅食花蜜的传粉媒介更具吸引力。F1 杂交花在其整个生命周期中产生的花蜜和花蜜糖含量最高。这些结果,连同先前获得的相同花类混合阵列中传粉媒介选择的数据,表明这些物种之间的 F1 杂种不会降低对传粉媒介的吸引力。F1 个体产生的花蜜和花蜜糖比它们的父母多,因此,它们可能对觅食花蜜的传粉媒介更具吸引力。
