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.

Evolution of the selfing syndrome in Ipomoea [PDF]
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/

Multiple aspects of the selfing syndrome of the morning glory Ipomoea lacunosa evolved in response to selection: A Qst‐Fst comparison [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The frequent transition from outcrossing to selfing in flowering plants is often accompanied by changes in multiple aspects of floral morphology, termed the “selfing syndrome.” While the repeated evolution of these changes suggests a role for natural ...

Experimental evolution suggests rapid assembly of the ‘selfing syndrome’ from standing variation in Mimulus guttatus [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceEcological and evolutionary changes are likely to occur rapidly when outcrossing populations experience pollinator loss. However, the number and identify of plant traits that will respond to this form of selection, as well as the overall predictability ...

How broad is the selfing syndrome? Insights from convergent evolution of gene expression across species and tissues in the Capsella genus. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2022 The shift from outcrossing to selfing is one of the main evolutionary transitions in plants. It is accompanied by profound effects on reproductive traits, the so-called selfing syndrome.

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 ...

Evolution of fertilization ability in obligatorily outcrossing populations of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 In species reproducing by selfing, the traits connected with outcrossing typically undergo degeneration, a phenomenon called selfing syndrome. In Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, selfing syndrome affects many traits involved in mating, rendering cross ...

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.

No detectable changes in reproductive behaviour of Caenorhabditis elegans males after 97 generations under obligatory outcrossing [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 In Caenorhabditis elegans, a species reproducing mostly via self-fertilization, numerous signatures of selfing syndrome are observed, including differences in reproductive behaviour compared to related obligatory outcrossing species.
