Pollinator probing preference and switching mode-mediated self-interference within a monoecious plant significantly reduced reproductive fitness [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionMonoecy is usually interpreted as an important evolutionary route of the plant sexual system from hermaphroditism to dioecy. This floral mechanism can effectively reduce self-interference during the reproductive process, and the services ...

Genetic insights into the dissolution of dioecy in diploid persimmon Diospyros oleifera Cheng [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Dioecy, a sexual system of single-sexual (gynoecious/androecious) individuals, is rare in flowering plants. This rarity may be a result of the frequent transition from dioecy into systems with co-sexual individuals.

Why not XY? Male monoecious sexual phenotypes challenge the female monoecious paradigm in Cannabis sativa L. [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceMonoecy in Cannabis sativa L. has long been considered an industrially important trait due to the increased uniformity it offers and was thought to be exclusively associated with XX females.

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought? [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Perianth symmetry in sexually differentiated flowers of Akebia quinata (Lardizabalaceae) [PDF]
PeerJSexual differentiation of monoecious plants usually involves differentiation in the size of female and male flowers produced on the same individuals. In the nectarless Akebia quinata (Houtt.) Decne (Lardizabalaceae), the trimeric, actinomorphic female ...

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary We used domestication as an in vivo replicated experiment to investigate how divergent selection has shaped the evolution of multivariate phenotypic spaces. We measured 11–57 qualitative and quantitative traits in 13 species, either unique or shared between species, and established a framework for cross‐species comparisons. Our results revealed

Manifold limits on seed production by individual flowering plants. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Historically, angiosperm seed production has been considered to be either pollen or resource limited. However, seed production involves more than pollen and seed resources and typically involves multiple ovules in multiple flowers. Therefore, various constraints may act simultaneously. Methods Proportional components of seed production

Patterns and drivers of plant sexual systems in the dry-hot valley region of southwestern China [PDF]
Plant DiversitySexual systems play important roles in angiosperm evolution and exhibit substantial variations among different floras. Thus, studying their evolution in a whole flora is crucial for understanding the formation and maintenance of plant biodiversity and ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
