Functional androdioecy in the ornamental shrub Osmanthus delavayi (Oleaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Androdioecy is one of the rarest sexual systems among plants, characterized by males co-occurring with hermaphrodites. Osmanthus delavayi (Oleaceae), an ornamental shrub from southern China, is known to have both male and hermaphrodite individuals, but ...

Is the High Proportion of Males in a Population of the Self-Incompatible Fraxinus platypoda (Oleaceae) Indicative of True Androdioecy or Cryptic-Dioecy? [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Androdioecy is a rare reproductive system. Fraxinus platypoda, a woody canopy species in Japan’s mountainous riparian zones, is described as a morphologically androdioecious species. In this study, we tried to detect whether F.

SWATH-MS based quantitive proteomics reveal regulatory metabolism and networks of androdioecy breeding system in Osmanthus fragrans [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background The fragrant flower plant Osmanthus fragrans has an extremely rare androdioecious breeding system displaying the occurrence of males and hermaphrodites in a single population, which occupies a crucial intermediate stage in the evolutionary ...

Covariation in reproductive investment between sterile and fertile sex organs contributes to sterile stamens persistence in cryptically dioecious Actinidia [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Cryptic dioecy is a sexual system in which individuals of at least one sex are morphologically hermaphroditic but functionally unisexual.

Floral bud differentiation and mechanism underlying androdioecy of Osmanthus fragrans
Ornamental Plant Research, 2023 Sweet osmanthus is an androdioecious plant; however, the mechanism underlying pistil sterility in male plants is still unclear. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the structure of pollen grains in the stamens does not differ between the sterile ...

Ornamental Plant Research, 2022 Several examples of androdioecy appear to have evolved from dioecy and have low male frequency (< 0.5). However, the evolutionary pathway to androdioecy in Oleaceae may come from hermaphroditism. Osmanthus fragrans L.

Microsatellite loci discovery from next-generation sequencing data and loci characterization in the epizoic barnacle Chelonibia testudinaria (Linnaeus, 1758) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Microsatellite markers remain an important tool for ecological and evolutionary research, but are unavailable for many non-model organisms. One such organism with rare ecological and evolutionary features is the epizoic barnacle Chelonibia testudinaria ...
