摘要: Abstract A review of the reproductive biology fleshy-fruited species Opuntia sensu stricto was conducted. Among Cactaceae, is most diverse and widely distributed genus in Americas. The strongly associated with bee pollination coevolution at least two genera suggested. Fruits vegetative parts, such as spiny cladodes, are closely linked seed dispersal highly efficient dissemination by animals. Vegetative multiplication appears to be more than sexual reproduction for plant recruitment. Both seem have contributed ecological evolutionary success genus, but empirical evidence lacking.
