英文摘要More than two-thirds of the species in Berchemia exhibit remarkable reproductive phenology, characterized by prolonged fruit ripening and the occurrence of overlapping fruit ripening and flowering. However, the underlying reasons for these phenomena remain unknown. Therefore, this study employed routine paraffin section technology, histochemical technique and scanning electron microscopy to investigate embryo sac development, differences between male and hermaphroditic flowers, as well as the overwintering strategy in Berchemia sinica . The findings of this study revealed a significant reduction in pollen viability and the number of pollen grains per flower in hermaphroditic compared to male flowers. Following fertilization, the ovary of hermaphroditic flowers does not undergo significant enlargement but gradually enters the state of zygotic quiescence. Zygotic quiescence prolongation is the main reason for the long reproductive cycle of B. sinica , and it takes approximately 14 months for the entire cycle from flower bud differentiation to fruit ripening to complete. Long reproductive cycle and complex overwintering mechanism exhibited by B. sinica resemble those seen in species belonging to Betulaceae, Fagaceae, Tapisciaceae, and Theaceae, suggesting convergent evolution during Earth 's glacial period resulted in similar adaptive structures among these groups delayed fruit ripening leads to overlap between current year 's flowers with previous year 's fruits. The trade-off between flower and fruit for reproductive resources may have driven evolutionary transition from ancestral hermaphroditism towards androdioecy in Berchemia .
