Preventing self-fertilization: Insights from Ziziphus species [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The fitness of self-progeny individuals is inferior to that of their outcrossed counterparts, resulting in a reduction in a plant population’s ability to survive and reproduce.

The population structure of invasive Lantana camara is shaped by its mating system [PDF]

eLife
Over the last century, invasive species have emerged as an important driver of global biodiversity loss. Lantana camara is one of the hundred most problematic invasive species globally, yet its genetic diversity patterns remain poorly understood ...

Parasites and the evolution of self-fertilization. [PDF]

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2001
Assuming all else is equal, an allele for selfing should spread when rare in an outcrossing population and rapidly reach fixation. Such an allele will not spread, however, if self-fertilization results in inbreeding depression so severe that the fitness of selfed offspring is less that half that of outcrossed offspring.

Evolutionary consequences of self-fertilization in plants. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2013
The transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization is one of the most common evolutionary changes in plants, yet only about 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly selfing. To explain this phenomenon, Stebbins proposed that selfing may be an ‘evolutionary dead end’.

A Semi-Automated SNP-Based Approach for Contaminant Identification in Biparental Polyploid Populations of Tropical Forage Grasses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Artificial hybridization plays a fundamental role in plant breeding programs since it generates new genotypic combinations that can result in desirable phenotypes.

Population Genomics of the “Arcanum” Species Group in Wild Tomatoes: Evidence for Separate Origins of Two Self-Compatible Lineages

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Given their diverse mating systems and recent divergence, wild tomatoes (Solanum section Lycopersicon) have become an attractive model system to study ecological divergence, the build-up of reproductive barriers, and the causes and consequences of the ...
