Premise What maintains mixed mating is an evolutionary enigma. Cleistogamy—the
production of both potentially outcrossing chasmogamous and obligately selfing …

PREMISE Inbreeding depression is well documented in flowering plants and adversely
affects a wide range of fitness‐related traits. Recent work has begun to explore the effects of …

It is difficult to assess the relative variability or stability of chasmogamous (CH) and
cleistogamous (CL) reproduction in perennial herbs with mixed mating because long-term …

Premise Inbreeding depression is traditionally considered a major factor favoring
outcrossing in hermaphrodites. Recent experiments have shown that environmental …

Abstract Background Chasmogamous (CH)–cleistogamous (CL) dimorphic flowers are
developed in Viola prionantha. However, the environmental and genetic factors necessary …

Premise of research. The maintenance of mixed selfing and outcrossing is an enduring
mystery in evolutionary biology. Cleistogamy, in which individuals produce both potentially …

Podostemaceae is the largest family of freshwater angiosperms. Unlike other aquatic plants,
those belonging to Podostemaceae are known to undergo only sexual reproduction …

Premise Cleistogamous species constitute interesting study systems to resolve the
longstanding question of how outcrossing is maintained given that seed production is …

The significance of maternal and progeny environment to chasmogamy (CH) and
cleistogamy (CL) in perennial plants is not well known. The perennial grass Danthonia …

Inbreeding exposes deleterious recessive alleles in homozygotes, lowering fitness and
generating inbreeding depression (ID). Both purging (via selection) and fixation (via drift) …
