Local Knowledge Graph (13 entities)

Description

Fine-mesh bags were used to control pollinator access to flower stalks, allowing comparison of yeast densities between virgin and pollinator-exposed flowers. Nectar was extracted using calibrated microcapillary tubes and processed for yeast enumeration.

Typical Equipment

• fine-mesh bags
• bridal veil material
• Zip-loc bags
• calibrated microcapillary tubes

Output Measurements

• yeast cell density
• nectar volume
• flower sex phase
