It is estimated that around half of all species of flowering plants show self‐incompatibility
(SI). However, the great majority of species alleged to have SI simply comply with 'the …

Genetic analysis provides a robust method for understanding the ways in which human
interventions in ecosystems may affect genetic diversity and species survival, providing an …

Gene dispersal processes shape demographic and microevolutionary dynamics of tree
species. Gene dispersal patterns can be studied by spatially explicit methods. Spatial …

The floral traits in Bignoniaceae are claimed as precise determiners of specialized
pollination systems. Here, we investigated how such floral traits ensure a highly specialized …

Bignoniaceous woody species are very important ecological components of neotropical
forests, but the reproductive biology of many species, such as Cybistax antisyphilitica …

Polyploidy is a key process in plant evolution, with the asexual formation of embryos
representing a way through which polyploids can escape sterility. The association between …

The tropical Bignoniaceae is mostly late-acting self-incompatible (LSI) and depends on a
guild of medium to large sized bees for their pollination. Adenocalymma nodosum and A …

Polyploidization is common among angiosperms and might induce typically allogamous
plants to become autogamous (self-compatible, relying on sexual self-fertilization) or …

Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI) has been defined as a genetically controlled self-
sterility mechanism that prevents seed set by selfing, despite normal pollen tube growth and …

Abstract Background and Aims Genetically controlled self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms
constrain selfing and thus have contributed to the evolutionary diversity of flowering plants …
