Hermaphroditic plant species reproduce with variable rates of selfing, ranging from strict selfing to strict outcrossing (Barrett, 2002). Self-incompatibility (SI) is a reproductive system that ...
Background and aims The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a repeated pattern in angiosperm diversification and according to general theory this transition should occur quickly and mixed ...
There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilise themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as “selfing”, ...
Abstract: We employ a full reciprocal diallel design between 10 parental plants that differed in their strength of self‐incompatibility (SI; strong, intermediate, and weak) to examine parental effects ...
A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an engineered version of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an ...
Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...
