Abstract:		"A major factor in the evolution of the angiosperms is the adaptation of plants to animal pollinators. The specific morphology of a flower, its color, nectar composition and scent production can all contribute to reproductive success by attracting pollinators and by limiting out-crossing with other species. It has now become feasible to dissect the genetic basis of plant adaptation to different pollinators"
