Seed production is likely constrained by pollen limitation and the viability of pollen grains decreases rapidly in time due to water evaporation. Any decrease in the surface-to-volume ratio, through increase in size or change in shape of a grain, reduces the rate of water loss. However, grain size trade-offs with the number of grains that can be pr...
