Effect of inbreeding on autogamy in Phlox [PDF]
The effect of inbreeding on autogamy was studied in two greenhouse-grown populations of the weakly self-compatible Phlox dmmmondii. Sixty-one plants from a Lytle, TX. population and 20 plants from a Bastrop, TX. population were self-fertilized to generate an equivalent number of 10-plant self families.

Novel Insect Florivory Strategy Initiates Autogamy in Unopened Allogamous Flowers [PDF]
AbstractInsects may influence plant development via pollination, galling, and a range of herbivorous interactions, including florivory. Here, we report a novel form of insect-plant interaction in the form of florivory-initiated autogamy. Mompha capella larvae, feeding on petal bases of Crocanthemum canadense before flowers open, while providing no ...

Yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) Displays Prezygotic and Postzygotic Barriers to Prevent Autogamy in Monoecious Cultivars [PDF]
Cultivated yam (D. rotundata) is a staple tuber crop in West Africa whose sexual reproduction control remains largely unknown despite its importance for plant breeding programs. In this paper, we compared self-pollination, intracultivar cross-pollination

RESPONSE TO SELECTION ON AUTOGAMY IN PHLOX [PDF]
Two cycles of artificial selection were performed to increase autogamous fruiting in two wild populations of the self-incompatible Phlox drummondii, to decrease autogamous fruiting in two wild populations of the self-compatible Phlox cuspidata, and to both increase and decrease autogamous fruiting in a cultivar of P.

Self fertility of pear varieties conditioned by natural self pollination (autogamy)
Authors studied the autofertility depending on natural self pollination (autogamy) in 59 pear cultivars during 4 seasons at three locations with different ecological conditions (Helvetia, Kecskemet-Kisfai, Keszthely).

The Mating System of the Wild-to-Domesticated Complex of Gossypium hirsutum L. Is Mixed [PDF]
The domestication syndrome of many plants includes changes in their mating systems. The evolution of the latter is shaped by ecological and genetic factors that are particular to an area.

Observed autogamy in Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) [PDF]
Abstract Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is an important wild tree of African origin which is currently attracting interest for domestication. Flower polymorphism observed on baobab trees at the Ho Technical University (HTU), Ghana, raised interest in understanding the phenomenon since it may have implication for reproduction in the species ...
