Transcriptome Analysis Identified Dichogamy Regulation Networks in Alpinia mutica
, 2023 Abstract In the sexual reproduction of flowering plants, outcrossing has natural advantages in heredity, and is the reproduction method used by most flowering plants. Dichogamy, accompanied by flower sex transition or differential maturation, promotes outcrossing and reduces selfing and interference with male and female functions, impacting the

Is Self‐Pollination Sufficient to Maximise Seed Set and Fruit Quality in Kiwifruit Hermaphrodites?
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.The purpose of this study was to determine whether supplementary pollination of each of two hermaphrodite kiwifruit selections was likely to produce any significant improvement in seed set or fruit quality, compared with self‐pollination alone. Three main pollination treatments were applied to floral shoots: self‐pollination alone and self‐pollination ...

Reproductive Biology of Fritillaria aurea Schott (Liliaceae), a Rare Species Endemic to Turkey
Diversity, 2022 Fritillaria aurea, unlike other Fritillaria species, is a narrowly endemic species. It has a brown checkered speckled color on each tepal and also has regular yellow intense colors on the tepals.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

, 1997 The levels of abortion at three stages (ovule, seed, and flower–fruit) and biomass allocation to flowers, seeds, and fruits were determined in 231 species from five Venezuelan plant communities.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2619-2633, May 2026.Summary Secondary contact between incipient species provides the opportunity to understand how trait divergence restricts gene flow. While mating system transitions are particularly common and involve a suite of phenotypic changes, the extent to which these changes influence gene flow during speciation is poorly understood.

Fecundity Effects of Dichogamy in an Asynchronically Flowering Population: a Genetic Model [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 1998 Abstract Timing of pollen presentation and ovule maturation at the level of the flower, individual and population may exert a profound influence on individual fitness and population structure. We explored the evolutionary consequences of asynchrony in flowering in a population of dichogamous plants, making use of a genetic model to represent pollen ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Rātā Moehau (Metrosideros bartlettii), a critically endangered tree endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand, is represented by only 14 wild individuals. We assembled its first genome, analysed genetic diversity in wild and cultivated individuals and found long‐term population decline and reduced diversity in cultivated plants—providing key insights to support ...

Dichogamy correlates with outcrossing rate and defines the selfing syndrome in the mixed-mating genus Collinsia [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 How and why plants evolve to become selfing is a long-standing evolutionary puzzle. The transition from outcrossing to highly selfing is less well understood in self-compatible (SC) mixed-mating (MM) species where potentially subtle interactions between floral phenotypes and the environment are at play.
