Evolution of the selfing syndrome in Ipomoea [PDF]
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]
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.

Multiple aspects of the selfing syndrome of the morning glory Ipomoea lacunosa evolved in response to selection: A Qst‐Fst comparison [PDF]
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]
Ecological 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 ...

Mating system of Datura inoxia: association between selfing rates and herkogamy within populations [PDF]
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 ...
