Because many plants ensure their reproductive success using some level of self-fertilization,it is predicted that the balance between pollinator-mediated pollen transfer and autonomous selfing will be correlated with ...
Authors conducted pollination experiments and genetic analyses using microsatellite loci for a natural population of a shrub species,Magnolia salicifolia,in a secondary Japanese beech forest in Hakkoda mountains,north...

Aims Distyly is one of the most widespread floral polymorphisms pro-moting cross-fertilization.Evolutionary transition from obligate cross-fertilized distyly to predominantly self-fertilized homostyly is frequently do...
The effect of honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica) on yield was investigated in open-pollinated faba bean cultivars and three inbred generations produced from them (once-selfed, twice-selfed, and thrice-selfed). All entr...
Cascade speciation and reinforcement can evolve rapidly when traits are pleiotropic and act as both signal/cue in nonrandom mating. Here, we examine the contribution of two key traits-assortative mating and self-ferti...
Faba bean is self- and cross-fertilized species. The consequences of self-fertilization are important factors determining the germplasm management in such species with levels of heterogeneity and heterozygsity. Effect...
