Functional heterostyly in Tylosema esculentum (Caesalpinioideae). [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 Tylosema esculentum is a long-lived perennial species endemic to arid areas of southern Africa. Its potential as a crop species has long been recognized as a result of the high oil and protein content of its seeds. The reproductive biology and breeding systems of the species were investigated in wild and experimental populations growing in Botswana ...

Evolution and function of heterostyly
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992A century of research on heterostylous plants has passed since the publication of Charles Darwin's book "The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species" in 1877 summarizing his extensive observations and experiments on these complex breeding systems involving genetic polymorphisms of floral sex organs.

The evolution and adaptive significance of heterostyly
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1990The origin and adaptive significance of heterostylous breeding systems have fascinated evolutionary biologists since Darwin's early work on the subject. Models of the evolution of heterostyly differ in the emphasis given to different selective forces and in the sequence in which the physiological and morphological components of the polymorphism are ...

Heterostyly in the Lamiaceae: The case ofSalvia brandegeei
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2000Heterostyly rarely occurs in families with strongly zygomorphic flowers. For this reason Darwin (1877) doubted whether heterostyly would occur in the Lamiaceae and recent reviews have not reported the floral polymorphism in this family. Here we describe distyly in a rare species ofSalvia restricted to bluffs and seaward canyons on Santa Rosa Island ...

Heterostyly and the possibility of its breakdown by polyploidization
Plant Species Biology, 2012Abstract Heterostyly is a genetically controlled sexual polymorphism promoting outcrossing by animal pollinators. The occurrence of heterostyly in angiosperms was investigated, and 199 genera in 28 families in 15 orders were recognized as taxa that contain heterostylous species.

Historical Perspectives on Heterostyly
1992Heterostyly was recognized as a morphological feature of certain groups of flowering plants as early as the 16th century, when it was reputedly noted in Primula by Clusius (van Dijk 1943). Few, if any, attempts were made to interpret the adaptive significance of this floral heteromorphism until Charles Darwin and Friedrich Hildebrand studied the ...

Heterostyly inBiophytum sensitivum DC
Journal of Genetics, 1964Heterostylism inBiophytum sensitivum DC. is described with measurements of style and anther lengths and pollen grain diameters. The fertility of different crosses is compared. One type of illegtimate union is moderately fertile.
