In many gynodioecious species, gender differences have been documented. Previous
studies on populations of Lobelia spicata consistently documented hermaphrodites having …

In angiosperms, the evolution of gender dimorphism is often correlated with the evolution of
sexual dimorphism in floral traits. The magnitude of sexual dimorphism will reflect both sex …

A common gender dimorphism in angiosperms is gynodioecy, in which hermaphrodites and
females co-occur. Females are at an inherent disadvantage because they can transmit their …

Gynodioecy is a dimorphic breeding system in which male-sterile individuals (ie, females)
coexist with hermaphroditic individuals in populations. Previous studies of two species of …

To examine the breeding system and components of male and female reproductive success
in the hermaphroditic plant Lobelia cardinalis, we performed three crossing experiments …

Most flowering plant populations contain one sexual morph: hermaphrodites that reproduce
sexually through both male and female functions, ie, pollen and seeds. However, some …

Gynodioecy is a relatively common plant breeding system, where female plants coexist with
hermaphrodites. Populations of gynodioecious species vary in the proportion of females …

Variation in population sex ratio is particularly pronounced in gynodioecious angiosperms.
Extremely high female frequencies in gynodioecious populations cannot be readily …

Numerous environmental factors can influence the female and male reproductive success of
hermaphroditic plants. These factors include, among others, the sexual status of neighboring …

Mating systems in angiosperms range from obligate outcrossing to highly self‐fertilizing. The
belief that obligate selfing does not exist is contradicted by genetic evidence in several …
