Pollinator Foraging and the Evolution of Dioecy
The American Naturalist, 1981 Distylous flowering plant species are characterized by having two types of individuals that bear different forms of flowers: "pin" flowers with long styles and short stamens and "thrum" flowers with short styles and long stamens (Darwin, 1877; Frankel and Galun, 1977).

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

The distribution of sexual function in the flowering plant: from monoecy to dioecy
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2022 In flowering plants, male and female functions are usually closely associated in the same flowers, as predicted by resource allocation theory. However, the benefits of outbreeding can lead to unisexual flowers and the physiological control of their ...

ARR17 controls dioecy in Populus by repressing B-class MADS-box gene expression
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2022 The number of dioecious species for which the genetic basis of sex determination has been resolved is rapidly increasing. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms downstream of the sex determinants remain largely elusive.

Functional Dioecy and Andromonoecy in Solanum [PDF]
Evolution, 1989 Field and laboratory studies of 19 diclinous species endemic to Australia help to clarify the nature and evolution of andromonoecy, androdioecy, and dioecy in the genus Solanum. Ten species are andromonoecious; typically these species bear inflorescences with a single, large basal hermaphroditic flower and 12-60 distal, smaller staminate flowers.

Plants, 2022 The vegetative and reproductive growth of plants provide the basic tempo for an ecosystem, and when species are interdependent, phenology becomes crucial to regulating the quantity and quality of the interactions. In plant–insect interactions, the plants

Quaternary, 2023 Nowadays, wild grapevine populations are quite limited and sporadic mainly due to habitat destruction, land-use change, and the spread of pathogens that have reduced their distribution range.
