Evolutionary consequences of self-fertilization in plants
The transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization is one of the most common evolutionary
changes in plants, yet only about 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly selfing. To …

The evolutionary enigma of mixed mating systems in plants: occurrence, theoretical explanations, and empirical evidence
▪ Abstract Mixed mating, in which hermaphrodite plant species reproduce by both self-and
cross-fertilization, presents a challenging problem for evolutionary biologists. Theory …

The ecology of mating and its evolutionary consequences in seed plants
SCH Barrett, LD Harder - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Mating in seed plants arises from interactions between plant traits and the environmental
and demographic context in which individuals reside. These interactions commonly cause …

Loss of self-incompatibility and its evolutionary consequences
We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …

The “Polyploid Hop”: shifting challenges and opportunities over the evolutionary lifespan of genome duplications
The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …
