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 ...

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.

Heterostyly in Goniolimon italicum (Plumbaginaceae), endemic to Abruzzo (central Apennines, Italy)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2015 Goniolimon italicum is an endemic species to central Apennines (Italy). Here we provide the first report of heterostyly in this species. Two morphological types were identified: an S-morph with stamen filaments longer than gynoecia, stigmas with a ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Asymmetrical disassortative pollination mediated by long‐/short‐tongued pollinators in a distylous Limonium myrianthum (Plumbaginaceae) with a short corolla tubular small flower [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn heterostylous plants, short‐tongued pollinators are often ineffective/inefficient owing to the limitations imposed by a long corolla tube. However, it is unclear how disassortative pollen transfer is achieved in small flowers.
