LifeDioecious plants often exhibit sex-specific physiological strategies that influence their response to environmental change. However, it is not well understood whether such dimorphism extends to the developmental trajectory of the photosynthetic apparatus

The Evolution of Dioecy-Concluding Remarks
Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1984 Since the pioneer work of Darwin on the evolution of sexual systems in plants (Darwin, 1877a, 1877b) no sexual strategy in recent years has attracted as much attention as dioecy. First, a number of population genetic models were developed in the 1970s to trace the evolution of dioecy via different pathways (Lloyd, 1975, 1976, 1979; Ross, 1970, 1978 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Sexual dimorphism in vegetative and reproductive traits is associated with contrasting strategies of males and females for response to varied environmental conditions, causing sex-specific reproduction success and consequently long-distance dispersal and

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).

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 ...

Acta Botânica BrasílicaPrevious ecological studies of dioecious plant species have found that female plants preferentially occur at lower altitudes where there are typically better nutritional conditions, while male plants often occur in less favorable sites.

Sexual Structure of Potentilla bifurca L. Coenopopulations in the Altay-Sayan Mountain Region [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2015 Sexual structure of 47 populations of dioecious Potentilla bifurca in the steppe, forest-steppe and alpine zones in the six provinces of the Altai-Sayan mountain region was studied. Based on the sexual spectrum the populations were divided into two types:
