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”, ...
Compatible pollination of Brassica napus necessitates pollen hydration, pollen germination and growth of the pollen tube through the loosened walls of stigmatic papillar cells, whereas ...
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 ...
