Abstract

HEAT BALANCE OF COROLLAS OF VASCULAR PLANTS

This study focused on the distribution of heat fluxes of solar radiation with model corollas of red, yellow and blue colours. It was found that blue corollas absorb less solar energy than red corollas, which confirms the existence of a geographic and seasonal convergence of corolla coloration. The species with a blue corolla are more adapted to low temperatures, while those with a red corolla are more adapted to high temperatures.

Keywords: heat balance, corolla, colour, temperature, evolution.
