Spatial constraints also regulates final achene mass in the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) capitulum
In capitula of the cultivated sunflower (<em>Helianthus annuus</em> L.) achene size and mass commonly decrease from proximal to distal positions. Temporal limitation of resources of the distal achenes over the proximal ones has been the common explanation for this response. Nevertheless,...
