The pollination and reproduction success of Salvia sclarea

Abstract

In this study, the pollinators of Salvia sclarea Lamiaceae and their behaviors, pollen viability, stigma receptivity, pollination biology and reproduction success were investigated. On observation, 8 insect taxa: Xylocopa violacea, Vespula germanica, Megachile pilidens, Sphex spirifex, Anthocopa bidentata bidentata, Apis mellifera, Anthophora sp., Sphaerophoria sp. were reported to pollinate the plant for different reasons. Stigma receptivity begins from the bud phase of the flower protogyny when the anthers open at the same level as the stigma, it surpasses the anthers and comes out of the upper lip of the corolla and activates the allogamy mechanism. In the bagging experiments which consisted 100 flowers 1.95 ± 1.69 ovules per flower were calculated to be fertilized while in the control group it was 3.92 ± 0.34 ovules . According to ISI index ISI = 0,497 the plant was identified to be semi-incompatible. This species is cultivated for its medical and aromatic significance. To ensure seed production in this species, its autogamy is replaced by the allogamy mechanism. This is important in terms of the species productivity and seed output. In addition, S. sclarea fields are considered to contribute positively to honey production as they are pollinated by bees
