Variation in the degree of reciprocal herkogamy affects the degree of legitimate pollination in a distylous species [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2018 Distyly is a widespread floral polymorphism characterized by the flowers within a population showing reciprocal placement of the anthers and stigma. Darwin hypothesizes that distyly evolves to promote precise pollen transfer between morphs. Primula chungensis exhibits two types of anther heights, and these two types of anthers show pollen of two ...

Phosphoproteomic analysis of distylous Turnera subulata identifies pathways related to endoreduplication that correlate with reciprocal herkogamy [PDF]
American Journal of BotanyAbstractPremiseA multi‐omic approach was used to explore proteins and networks hypothetically important for establishing filament dimorphisms in heterostylous Turnera subulata (Sm.) as an exploratory method to identify genes for future empirical research.MethodsMass spectrometry (MS) was used to identify differentially expressed proteins and ...

Does the occurence of homostyly necessarily accompany the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionHeterostyly is a genetic polymorphism that facilitates precise pollen transfer through reciprocal herkogamy. The loss or variation of reciprocal herkogamy is usually accompanied by the breakdown of heteromorphic incompatibility system ...

Reciprocal herkogamy promotes disassortative mating in a distylous species with intramorph compatibility [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2015 SummaryMating patterns in heterostylous species with intramorph compatibility have the potential to deviate from symmetrical disassortative mating owing to ecological and reproductive factors influencing pollen dispersal. Here, we investigate potential and realized patterns of mating in distylousLuculia pinceana(Rubiaceae), a species with intramorph ...

Investigating morphological and biological reproductive traits in self-fertile and -infertile macadamia cultivars [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologySelf-fertility is a commercially valuable trait in crop species, enabling fruit set without reliance on pollinators or external pollinisers. In macadamia, most cultivars are self-infertile, though some can produce nuts with self-pollen.

High herkogamy but low reciprocity characterizes isoplethic populations of Jasminum malabaricum , a species with stigma‐height dimorphism [PDF]
Plant Biology, 2020 Abstract Studies of floral polymorphisms have focused on heterostyly, while stigma‐height dimorphism has received considerably less attention. Few studies have examined the reproductive biology of species with stigma‐height dimorphism to understand how factors ...

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Distyly is a floral polymorphism with reciprocal placement of male and female structures, heteromorphic self-incompatibility, and other ancillary traits. However, breeding system breakdowns and loss of polymorphism are common.

Cordia subcordata (Boraginaceae), a distylous species on oceanic coral islands, is self-compatible and pollinated by a passerine bird [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – Distyly is usually rare on oceanic islands, which is probably due to the difficulty for distylous plants to colonize those islands.

Plants, 2023 A majority of Turnera species (Passifloraceae) exhibit distyly, a reproductive system involving both self-incompatibility and reciprocal herkogamy. This system differs from self-incompatibility in Passiflora species.
