Phylogenetic Relatedness Determines Heterospecific Pollen-Pistil Compatibility and Reproductive Outcome in the Apocarpous Species <i>Sagittaria trifolia</i> (Alismataceae). [PDF]
This study investigates heterospecific pollen (HP) effects in Sagittaria trifolia, an apocarpous plant with an extragynoecial compitum. HP–pistil compatibility and resulting seed set reduction were greatest from phylogenetically close donors, not influenced by origin or pollen traits.
