Evolution of the selfing syndrome in Ipomoea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Plants that are highly selfing typically exhibit a suite of morphological traits termed a selfing syndrome, including reduced corollas and reproductive structures, loss of corolla pigmentation, little anther-stigma separation, and a lower pollen/ovule (P/

Evolution of the Selfing Syndrome in Arabis alpina (Brassicaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The transition from cross-fertilisation (outcrossing) to self-fertilisation (selfing) frequently coincides with changes towards a floral morphology that optimises self-pollination, the selfing syndrome.

Gametic selection favours polyandry and selfing. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsCompetition among pollen or sperm (gametic selection) can cause evolution. Mating systems shape the intensity of gametic selection by determining the competitors involved, which can in turn cause the mating system itself to evolve.

Hybridization generates a hopeful monster: a hermaphroditic selfing cichlid [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Compared with other phylogenetic groups, self-fertilization (selfing) is exceedingly rare in vertebrates and is known to occur only in one small clade of fishes.

Temperature-mediated plasticity of floral and fitness traits in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyFloral traits determine the reproductive success and the fitness of a plant. We investigated the effect of ambient temperature on three floral and four fitness traits and their plasticities in 34 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions grown at 17 °C, 20 °C, 24 °

Two Species Whose Ranges Are Shifting Uphill Are Not Pollen Limited, But Are More Successful Selfers Than Two Non‐Shifting Species [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany species are expected to shift their ranges uphill in response to climate change and shifts to new ranges can be associated with changes in both positive and negative biotic interactions.

Mating system of Datura inoxia: association between selfing rates and herkogamy within populations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Plant mating system determines, to a great extent, the demographic and genetic properties of populations, hence their potential for adaptive evolution. Variation in plant mating system has been documented between phylogenetically related species as well ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 To understand mating-system evolution in self-compatible hermaphrodites, variation in selfing rates is highly relevant. Empirical studies are rarely designed to capture variation between individuals, instead often comparing species and populations.

Self-Fertilization, Inbreeding, and Yield in Alfalfa Seed Production
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Selfing (self-pollination) is the ultimate form of inbreeding, or mating among close relatives. Selfing can create yield loss when inbreeding depression, defined as a lower survival and reproduction of inbred relative to outbred progeny, is present.

Plants, 2022 The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a common evolutionary trend in flowering plants, and floral traits change significantly with the evolution of selfing.
