Yeast Sex: Surprisingly High Rates of Outcrossing between Asci
PLoS ONE, 2010 Saccharomyces yeasts are an important model system in many areas of biological research. Very little is known about their ecology and evolution in the wild, but interest in this natural history is growing. Extensive work with lab strains in the last century uncovered the Saccharomyces life cycle.

Molecular evidence of outcrossing rate variability in Brassica napus [PDF]
Euphytica, 2011 A leafy crop of Brassica napus L. called nabicol has been grown by farmers in northwestern Spain for many years, being an important horticultural product during the winter season. A collection of landraces of a Brassica napus leafy crop called nabicol is kept at 'Misión Biológica de Galicia' (CSIC-Spain) which can be used to search for desirable ...

Mating system parameters in a high density population of andirobas in the Amazon forest
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2013 The objective of this work was to estimate the mating system parameters of a andiroba (Carapa guianensis) population using microsatellite markers and the mixed and correlated mating models.

Plant Mating Systems Often Vary Widely Among Populations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to exclusive outcrossing.

PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundIntrogression plays an important role in evolution of plant species via its influences on genetic diversity and differentiation. Outcrossing determines the level of introgression but little is known about the relationships of outcrossing rates,

Does anthocyanin affect outcrossing rates in Datura Stramonium (Solanaceae)? [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2000 In this paper, I investigate whether the presence or absence of anthocyanin is neutral with respect to reproduction in Datura stramonium. The observations concern the portion of the life cycle spanning pollination to germination. Pollinators do not appear to distinguish between floral morphs, as revealed by nonbiased distribution of fluorescent powder ...

Outcrossing rates in the gynomonoecious‐gynodioecious species Dianthus sylvestris (Caryophyllaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2003 Some species described as gynodioecious are truly gynomonoecious‐gynodioecious. Three distinct phenotypes may be found in their natural populations—female and hermaphrodite pure‐sexed plants bearing either only pistillate or perfect flowers, respectively, and mixed plants bearing both types of flowers.
