In plants,heteromorphic self-incompatibility(HetSI)is a strategy for avoiding self-pollination and promoting outcrossing,and during this process,numerous protein-protein interaction events occur between the pistil and...

Reproductive traits that function in pollinator attraction may be reduced or lost during evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing.Although floral scent plays an important role in attracting pollinators in ...

Pollinator shift and its influence on floral traits have been well documented to explain the diversity of angiosperms,but such effects are still less known at the intraspecific level,especially the responses of differ...

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...

Primula chungensis is a species with considerable floral and mating-system variation,including distylous(outcrossing),homostylous(selfing) and mixed populations that contain both outcrossing and selfing forms.We isola...

Typical distylous species display both reciprocal herkogamy and heteromorphic incompatibility, which exclude self- and intramorph pollination and accordingly promote intermorph pollination. Here we explore an unusual ...

Distyly is a genetically controlled flower dimorphism. Most species in Mussaenda are distylous or functionally dioecious. Mussaenda shikokiana Makino consisted of one floral morph only in the populations studied in so...
