Abstract Background and Aims Variation in mating patterns may be particularly evident in
colonizing species because they commonly experience wide variation in plant density. Here …

Pollen dispersal and gene flow in the grass meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) were
studied using two populations which were homozygous for different allozymes at the Gpi-2 …

Gynogenesis of four onion cultivars was induced, starting from ovules and ovaries, using a 2-
step culture procedure. The induction frequency was much higher from ovaries and was …

Orchid seeds are unusual for being the smallest among flowering plants. These dust‐like
seeds are wind‐borne and, thus, would seem to have the potential for long‐distance …

The endangered grassland daisy Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides has been subject to severe
habitat destruction and fragmentation over the past century. Using allozyme markers, we …

The recovery of endangered plants often requires the creation of new populations in order to
decrease the risk of extinction. Despite numerous attempts, no plant species have been fully …

Significant differences occur in the levels and types of aliphatic glucosinolates in leaves of
plants of four Brassica oleracea populations in Dorset. Plants in grassland at St Aldhelm's …

Taxa endemic to North-western Europe are rare, but the orchid genus Dactylorhiza contains
several species restricted to this area. Evidence from morphological and cytological studies …

Camellia japonica L.(Theaceae), an insect‐and bird‐pollinated, broad‐leaved evergreen
tree, is widely distributed in Japan and the southern Korean peninsula. The species has a …

Spatial patterns of genetic variation provide information central to many ecological,
evolutionary, and conservation questions. This spatial variability has traditionally been …
