The worldwide holoparasitic Apodanthaceae confidently placed in the Cucurbitales by nuclear and mitochondrial gene trees [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Of the c. 450 families of flowering plants, only two are left “unplaced” in the most recent APG classification of angiosperms. One of these is the Apodanthaceae, a clade of c. 19 holoparasitic species in two or three genera occurring in North

Fertilization in Flowering Plants 2. Selection of the Male Partner is the Prerogative of the Maternal Parent [PDF]
, 2016 After the pollen grain reaches the stigma through outsourced agents (pollinators), the next step before fertilization is to select the right type of pollen.

Absence of sex differential plasticity to light availability during seed maturation in Geranium sylvaticum [PDF]
, 2015 Sex-differential plasticity (SDP) hypothesis suggests that since hermaphrodites gain fitness through both pollen and seed production they may have evolved a higher degree of plastici- ty in their reproductive strategy compared to females which achieve ...

Rapid dissolution of dioecy by experimental evolution [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractEvolutionary transitions from hermaphroditism to dioecy have been frequent in flowering plants, but recent analysis indicates that reversions from dioecy to hermaphroditism have also been common. Here, we use experimental evolution to expose a mechanism for such reversions.

Inflorescences of Cliffortia L. (Rosaceae) and related vegetative branching patterns
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2003 The inflorescence construction of eight species, representative of the types found in the 119 species of the rosaceous genus Cliffortia L. is described, based on stereo microscopic examination of fresh and dried specimens, combined with extensive field ...

The consequences of monoecy and dioecy in congeneric species, and their implications for the evolution of dioecy in the genus Viscum [PDF]
, 2015 Two species of Viscum, the dioecious Viscum capense ssp capense and the monoecious Viscum rotundifolium , were compared in terms of their ecology, repioductive biology and genetics in order to determine some potential selective advantages of dioecy in ...
