FlowerMate: Multidimensional reciprocity and inaccuracy indices for style‐polymorphic plant populations [PDF]
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise Heterostyly in plants promotes pollen transfer between floral morphs, because female and male sex organs are located at roughly reciprocal heights within the flowers of each morph.

Convergent evolutionary patterns of heterostyly across angiosperms support the pollination-precision hypothesis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSince the insights by Charles Darwin, heterostyly, a floral polymorphism with morphs bearing stigmas and anthers at reciprocal heights, has become a model system for the study of natural selection.

Transcriptome and Network Analyses of Heterostyly in Turnera subulata Provide Mechanistic Insights: Are S-Loci a Red-Light for Pistil Elongation? [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Heterostyly employs distinct hermaphroditic floral morphs to enforce outbreeding. Morphs differ structurally in stigma/anther positioning, promoting cross-pollination, and physiologically blocking self-fertilization.

Floral Characterization of Pomegranate Genotypes to Improve Hybridization Efficiency [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has staminate (male), androgynous (hermaphrodite), and intermediate flower types. Floral characterization is difficult for breeding efficiency across many pomegranate genotypes in Pakistan, which is essential for pomegranate

The influence of heterostyly on the fructification of two Chaenomeles species
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 The fructification of Chaenomeles japonica Lindl. and Ch. x superba grown in the Botanical Garden in Lublin was investigated in 1999 and 2002-2003. The influence of heterostyly on the degree of fruit setting and considerable morphological differences ...

DECONSTRUCTING HETEROSTYLY: THE EVOLUTIONARY ROLE OF INCOMPATIBILITY SYSTEM, POLLINATORS, AND FLORAL ARCHITECTURE [PDF]
Population Ecology, 2013 AbstractAlmost all organisms in nature show nonrandom mating to different degrees. Two extreme results of nonrandom mating are speciation and sexual differentiation. Heterostyly is a form of sexual differentiation considered to have evolved to resolve conflicts between male and female functions of hermaphrodite flowers. Our study examines necessary and

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 ...

Heterostyly on Japanese Islands
, 2022 Heterostyly is a genetically controlled floral polymorphism that promote outbreeding. Although many studies on heterostyly have been done in Japan, there have been no comprehensive analysis nor review. Here I present the list of heterostyly in the native flora of Japan through reviewing references.

The S-Gene YUC6 Pleiotropically Determines Male Mating Type and Pollen Size in Heterostylous Turnera (Passifloraceae): A Novel Neofunctionalization of the YUCCA Gene Family [PDF]
Plants, 2022 In heterostylous, self-incompatible Turnera species, a member of the YUCCA gene family, YUC6, resides at the S-locus and has been hypothesized to determine the male mating type.

Comprehensive transcriptomic profiling reveals complex molecular mechanisms in the regulation of style-length dimorphism in Guettarda speciosa (Rubiaceae), a species with “anomalous” distyly [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 BackgroundThe evolution of heterostyly, a genetically controlled floral polymorphism, has been a hotspot of research since the 19th century. In recent years, studies on the molecular mechanism of distyly (the most common form of heterostyly) revealed an ...
