Project MACFLOR2

The Atlas of Reproductive Biology of the Macaronesian Flora will aim to research the two great "pillars" of this botanical discipline: the sexual systems (SS) and the self-incompatibility systems (SI) ) in Macaronesia island taxa, where studies have not done more to begin with (MACFLOR project, in progress). This research is based on reproductive models for the detection of population reproductive success (viable seeds and vigorous progenies) and/or potential reproductive failure due to the disappearance of certain individuals capable of producing fertile crosses. The project is of great interest to Conservation, as it will allow the generation of effective recovery strategies. Macflor2 will contribute to the knowledge of systems
in unexplored species, providing new data for the detection of possible reproductive failures as one of the threatening risks of Macaronesia endemisms, data that will be incorporated into the Atlas archives.
