Evolution of Plant Breeding Systems [PDF]
Breeding systems are important, and often neglected, aspects of the natural biology of organisms, affecting homozygosity and thus many aspects of their biology, including levels and patterns of genetic diversity and genome evolution. Among the different plant mating systems, it is useful to distinguish two types of systems: 'sex systems ...

Breeding Systems in Cortaderia (Gramineae) [PDF]
Male sterility has long been known in the grass genus Cortaderia and the species have traditionally been described as dioecious (Stapf, 1897; Pilger, 1906; Hitchcock, 1927; Conert, 1961). However, Connor and Penny (1960) described gynodioecism in one New Zealand species, and it was later shown that all New Zealand Cortaderias are gynodioecious, as well
