Morphological characteristics and molecular markers of distyly in Primula obconica
Euphytica, 2023 Primula obconica is a perennial herbaceous flower of the Primulaceae that exhibits distinct heterostyly. Long(L)- and short(S)-styled morphs differ substantially in various ways, which can directly affect the genetic regulation of plants.

Polygamous breeding system identified in the distylous genus Psychotria: P. manillensis in the Ryukyu archipelago, Japan [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Distyly is a genetic polymorphism composed of long-and short-styled flowers in a population. The evolutionary breakdown of distyly has been reported in many taxa, and mainly involves a shift toward monomorphism or dioecism.

Evolution of Autonomous Selfing in Marginal Habitats: Spatiotemporal Variation in the Floral Traits of the Distylous Primula wannanensis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Outcrossing plant species are more likely to exhibit autonomous selfing in marginal habitats to ensure reproduction under conditions of limited pollinator and/or mate availability.

Does the occurence of homostyly necessarily accompany the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionHeterostyly is a genetic polymorphism that facilitates precise pollen transfer through reciprocal herkogamy. The loss or variation of reciprocal herkogamy is usually accompanied by the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system ...

Breeding biology and distyly in Palicourea rigida H. B. & K. (Rubiaceae) in the Cerrados of Central Brazil Biologia reprodutiva e distilia em Palicourea rigida H. B. & K. (Rubiaceae) em Cerrados do Brasil Central [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2010 Distyly is a floral polymorphism more common among the Rubiaceae than in any other angiosperm group. Palicourea rigida is a typically distylous species of the Rubiaceae widely distributed in the Brazilian Cerrados.
