Exploring the relationship between tychoparthenogenesis and inbreeding depression in the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
, 2017 Tychoparthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which a small proportion of unfertilized eggs can hatch spontaneously, could be an intermediate evolutionary link in the transition from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction.

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

The Evolution of Self-Fertilization in Density-Regulated Populations [PDF]
, 2002 We study the evolution of selfing in hermaphrodites to reveal the demographic conditions that lead to intermediate selfing rates. Using a demographic model based on Ricker-type density regulation we first assume that independent of population density ...

Reproductive assurance drives transitions to self-fertilization in experimental Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2014 Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing between individuals to selfing are partly responsible for the great diversity of animal and plant reproduction systems.

Xibei zhiwu xuebao[Objective] In unstable pollination environments, bisexual flowering plants often possess potential selfing ability. Given the mating cost of selfing, investigating selfing strategies in different environments are critical for the understanding of ...

The MED30 subunit of mediator complex is essential for early plant development and promotes flowering in arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2019 Mediator is a large multiprotein complex that is required for the transcription of most, if not all, genes transcribed by RNA Polymerase II. A core set of subunits is essential to assemble a functional Mediator in vitro and, therefore, the corresponding ...

Differential expression of conserved germ line markers and delayed segregation of male and female primordial germ cells in a hermaphrodite, the leech helobdella. [PDF]
, 2013 In sexually reproducing animals, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are often set aside early in embryogenesis, a strategy that minimizes the risk of genomic damage associated with replication and mitosis during the cell cycle.
