Angiosperms display an enormous diversity of forms, functions and strategies when it comes
to reproduction. This multiplicity has been translated into several terminological concepts …

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

Approximately 70% of the angiosperm species are polyploid, an important phenomenon in
the evolution of those plants. But ploidy estimates have often been hindered because of the …

Breeding systems have been associated with polyploidization and genomic change, which
have a central role in the diversification of Angiosperms. Polyploidy commonly leads to …

Apomixis, the asexual formation of seeds, seems to be a reproductive alternative for many
angiosperms, involving various pathways with different genetic and ecological …

Abstract Tillandsia subgenera Diaphoranthema and Phytarrhiza ss are closely related
epiphytic and epilithic plants adapted to xeric habitats in the Americas. Several studies …

Apomixis, the asexual formation of embryos and seeds, occurs in approximately 18% of
angiosperm families. Melastomataceae exhibits a remarkable number of apomictic species …

Some tropical Bignoniaceae form sporophytic apomictic polyploid complexes are similar to
better studied temperate plants. Handroanthus ochraceus is a widely distributed Neotropical …

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

Apomixis and polyploidy have been important in the evolution of the angiosperms, and
sporophytic apomixis has been associated with polyembryony and polyploidy in tropical …
