EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE FUNCTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HETEROSTYLY [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1992 Heterostyly has been viewed as both an antiselfing device and a mechanism that increases the proficiency of pollen transfer between plants. We used experimental manipulation of the morph structure of garden populations of self-compatible, tristylous Eichhornia paniculata to investigate the function of floral polymorphism.

Abstract Heterostyly is a genetically controlled floral polymorphism that is known to occur in 24 families of flowering plants. The floral morphs differ reciprocally in stamen and style lengths. They often differ in pollen grain size and production, and may differ in pollen exine sculpturing, pollen colour ...

Phylogeographic insights on the evolutionary breakdown of heterostyly [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2017 Summary The breakdown of heterostyly to homostyly is a classic system for the investigation of evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing. Loss of sexual polymorphism is characterized by changes to population morph structure and floral morphology.

Is heterostyly rare on oceanic islands? [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2015 Heterostyly has been considered rare or absent on oceanic islands. However, there has been no comprehensive review on this issue. Is heterostyly truly rare on oceanic islands? What makes heterostyly rare on such islands? To answer these questions, we review the reproductive studies on heterostyly on oceanic islands, with special emphasis on the ...

Since heterostyly became well known over a century ago, botanists have consistently proposed that its adaptive significance lies in the encouragement it provides for outcrossing. Darwin (1877, p. 258) for example, wrote that “We may feel sure that plants have been rendered heterostyled to ensure cross-fertilization, for we know that a cross between the

Charles Darwin was fascinated by the phenomenon of heterostyly. He described (1862, 1877) how he first thought that pin and thrum plants of Primula species represented female and male sexes respectively, but found that they were both functionally hermaphroditic. He demonstrated the infertility of self-pollinations and crosses between plants of the same

Breeding experiments on the genetics of heterostyly began in the 19th century led by Hildebrand (1866) and by Darwin (1877), before Mendel’s work was rediscovered in 1900. Bateson and Gregory (1905) introduced their paper on the inheritance of heterostylism in Primula with the statement: “In view of the results obtained by Darwin, Hildebrand and others,
