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 …

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 …

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

In order to determine whether interactions between multiple sex-determining genes might be
partly responsible for the wide variation in female frequency among populations of Lobelia …

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

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

Female flowers of gynodioecious species (plants with either female or hermaphroditic
flowers) are typically smaller with no reward for pollinators. We proposed and tested that …

Perfect-flowered plants create difficulties when assigning sexual emphasis to individual
plants. Perfect-flowered plants have generally been considered to place equal emphasis on …

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 …
