Reproductive assurance through autogamous self-pollination across diverse sexual and breeding systems [PDF]
, 2015 Pollination becomes a constraint when conspecific plants and/or their pollinators become scarce. Many plant species have evolved autogamous self-pollination as a means of reproductive assurance (RA) under pollination-uncertain environments. So far RA has
