Abstract

The purpose of this project is to gain information on the effects of increasing temperatures (higher than optimal) on reproductive success in plants, especially after fertilization has occurred. For this study, Erigeron kachinensis, the Kachina Daisy, will be used since many of its reproductive variables are known (Allphin and Harper, 1996).
