The functional roles of 3D heterostyly and floral visitors in the reproductive biology of Turnera subulata (Turneroideae: Passifloraceae) [PDF]
, 2020 Heterostyly is a floral polymorphism that reduces conflicts between sexual functions (sexual interference), such as self-pollination in self-incompatible flowers and loss of pollen to incompatible stigmas.

Chloroplast genomes of nine Primula species: comparative genomics and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionPrimula is the largest genus in Primulaceae and a classic model for studying heterostyly and plant evolution.MethodsIn this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast genomes of seven Primula species from China ...

Primula vulgaris (primrose) genome assembly, annotation and gene expression, with comparative genomics on the heterostyly supergene [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Primula vulgaris (primrose) exhibits heterostyly: plants produce self-incompatible pin- or thrum-form flowers, with anthers and stigma at reciprocal heights. Darwin concluded that this arrangement promotes insect-mediated cross-pollination; later studies

Ecology and EvolutionThe phenomenon of floral color change (FCC) in angiosperms is frequently associated with pollination events. However, research on triggers, functions, and ecological effects of FCC still remains confined to phenomenological speculation or model‐based ...

The draft genome of Primula veris yields insights into the molecular basis of heterostyly [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2015 BackgroundThe flowering plant Primula veris is a common spring blooming perennial that is widely cultivated throughout Europe. This species is an established model system in the study of the genetics, evolution, and ecology of heterostylous floral ...

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.

Heterostyly in the Canarian endemic Jasminum odoratissimum (Oleaceae)
Nordic Journal of Botany, 2003 Jasminum odoratissimum is a Madeira and Canary Islands endemic showing classic heterostyly, i.e. with long‐styled flowers with anthers at a low level in the corolla tube and short‐styled flowers with anthers at a high level in the corolla tube. Short‐styled flowers have large pollen, whereas long‐styled flowers have small pollen.

Structural and molecular analyses of heterostyly in Linum tenue (Linaceae) [PDF]
, 2018 Flowering plant mating systems are as varied as they are complex, and are generally considered the leading force behind angiosperm diversity and evolution.

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 The experiment was carried out in a three unheated plastic tunnels in 1998-2000. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of flower's heterostyly and two methods of flower pollination (self-pollination and using bumble-bee) as well as flower ...

A short story gets longer: recent insights into the molecular basis of heterostyly.
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017 Heterostyly is a fascinating adaptation to promote outbreeding and a classical paradigm of botany. In the most common type of heterostyly, plants either form flowers with long styles and short stamens, or short styles and long stamens.
