Tropical plant species are vulnerable to climate change and global warming. Since
flowering is a critical factor for plant reproduction and seed-set, warming and elevated …

Dimorphic flowers growing on a single individual plant play a critical role in extreme
adaption and reproductive assurance in plants and have high ecological and evolutionary …

Changes in the proportions of male and female flowers in monoecious plants in response to
external environmental conditions are directly related to the reproductive fitness of plants …

We conducted comparative analyses using an open-top chamber (OTC) to reduce wind
stress to clarify the impact of decreased wind stress on the invasive species Bidens pilosa …

Abstract Background The theory of Condition Dependent Sex predicts that–everything else
being equal–less fit individuals would outcross at higher rates compared with fitter ones …

The maintenance of outcrossing in cleistogamous plants that produce both open,
facultatively outcrossing chasmogamous (CH), and closed, obligate selfing cleistogamous …

Plant breeding systems can vary widely among populations, yet few studies have
investigated abiotic factors contributing to variation across a broad geographic range. Here …

Flowering phenology, or the timing of plant reproduction, is a key component of plant fitness,
influencing plant survival, reproduction, and the presence (or absence) of temporal …

Both intrinsic and extrinsic forces work together to shape connectivity and genetic variation
in populations across the landscape. Here we explored how geography, breeding system …

(1) Background: Considering the serious damage caused by castration and the extremely
high outcrossing rate in nature, we hypothesized that artificial controlled pollination of black …
