Floral morphometrics, development and evolution of homostyly from distyly in Amsinckia (Boraginaceae).

open access: yes, 2001
The mechanisms that lead to the evolution of homostyly from distyly and the differentiation of two distylous floral morphs (pin and thrum) were studied by comparing floral morphometrics of homostylous and distylous groups within and among three ...

An Overview: Distribution, Production, and Diversity of Local Landraces of Buckwheat in Nepal

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Buckwheat is a sixth staple food crop after rice, wheat, maize, finger millet, and barley in Nepal. It is considered as an alternate cereal and poor man’s crop, representing an important food supply in remote places of Himalayas. It is the best crop in higher altitude in terms of adaptation to different climatic variables and easily fitted to different

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Dispersal and delimitation: Phylogenomics of Connaraceae prompts revised generic delimitation in Cnestideae and reveals global biogeographic patterns

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.

Spatial pattern and ecological adaptation of heterostylous and homostylous species of Primula in China [PDF]

open access: yes
Floral syndrome is one of the key components of plant pollination syndromes, affecting variety of evolutionary and ecological processes in angiosperms. The evolutionary transition from self-incompatible heterostyly to self-compatible homostyly occurred ...

Mutualisms drive plant trait evolution beyond interaction‐related traits

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2024.
This study reveals that mutualistic interactions impact traits beyond interaction‐related traits. While strong mutual dependencies appear to slow trait evolution, facultative and generalist mutualisms are associated with rapid trait change. This challenges the notion that mutualisms merely stabilise trait evolution and underscores their broader ...

Distyly and homostyly in species of Palicourea Aubl. (Rubiaceae) from the Cerrado of Central Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Distilia é um tipo de sistema reprodutivo que utiliza características morfológicas e fisiológicas como forma de potencializar a xenogamia. Dentre as 25 famílias de Angiospermas que apresentam esse sistema, Rubiaceae é a que tem a maior riqueza.
