The ecological significance of cleistogamy
Various aspects of cleistogamy, a reproductive system combining selfing in closed (cleistogamous) flowers and potential outcrossing in open (chasmogamous) flowers, were investigated in four perennial species.

Cultivar Macabeo is one of the most planted white grape varieties of northern Spain. A general agreement supports many Vitis vinifera cultivars possibly being self-fertile, although this seems to be a variety-dependent characteristic.

Transcriptome analysis suggests mechanisms for a novel flowering type: Cleistogamous wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops worldwide. Fusarium head blight severely reduces wheat yield and quality. Cultivation of a novel type of cleistogamous wheat mutant, ZK001, which was created by static magnetic field treatment, is a new ...

The effect of pollen source vs. flower type on progeny performance and seed predation under contrasting light environments in a cleistogamous herb. [PDF]
Dimorphic cleistogamy is a specialized form of mixed mating system where a single plant produces both open, potentially outcrossed chasmogamous (CH) and closed, obligately self-pollinated cleistogamous (CL) flowers.

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteome analysis reveals metabolic changes between a cleistogamous wheat mutant and its wild-type wheat counterpart [PDF]
Background Wheat is one of the most important staple crops worldwide. Fusarium head blight (FHB) severely affects wheat yield and quality. A novel bread wheat mutant, ZK001, characterized as cleistogamic was isolated from a non-cleistogamous variety ...

Corallorhiza striata is the first example of a pseudocopulatory orchid in North America and an instance of "double deception" in fully mycoheterotrophic plants. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Orchids have many pollination strategies, from highly species‐specific mutualisms with insects to deceit pollination, including sexual deception. The family also has the most leafless, parasitic species (mycoheterotrophs) of any plant family.
