Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The larger distribution area of asexuals compared with their sexual relatives in geographical parthenogenesis (GP) scenarios has been widely attributed to the advantages of uniparental reproduction and polyploidy.

Characterization of Deleterious Mutations in Outcrossing Populations [PDF]
Genetics, 1998 Abstract Deng and Lynch recently proposed estimating the rate and effects of deleterious genomic mutations from changes in the mean and genetic variance of fitness upon selfing/outcrossing in outcrossing/highly selfing populations. The utility of our original estimation approach is limited in outcrossing populations, since selfing may ...

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Outcrossing Techniques for Producing Artichoke Seed [PDF]
HortScience, 1997 The artichoke, Cynara scolymus, is normally propagated by cuttings from mother plants; however, it is possible to produce some types of artichokes from seed. Methods used for producing open-pollinated seed of onion and carrots may be suitable for producing artichoke seed.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Autonomously self‐fertilizing plants possess disproportionate abilities to found populations. Viewed from the metapopulation perspective, founding events should be frequent in such plants, but the intensity and timing of bottlenecks and recovery should vary among populations.

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

Habitat Predicts Levels of Genetic Admixture in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 Genetic admixture can provide material for populations to adapt to local environments, and this process has played a crucial role in the domestication of plants and animals.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.

Estimation of the outcrossing rate for annual Asian wild rice under field conditions
Breeding Science, 2012 The Asian wild rice, Oryza rufipogon, has partial outcrossing behavior and shows high levels of genetic variation. To estimate an accurate outcrossing rate of annual form of O.
