Hermaphroditic organisms can reproduce by means of three strategies: outcrossing, bi-parental inbreeding and selfing. Outcrossing involves cross-fertilization with a randomly selected mate and is ...

Plants with selfing ability should be more likely to establish outside their historical range because they can reproduce from a single individual when mates or pollinators are not available.

近日，这一工作以 “Cip1,a CDK regulator,determines heterothallic mating or homothallic selfing in a protist”为题在线发表于PNAS杂志 有性生殖在真核生物的繁衍与演化中扮演着重要的角色，其在不同物种中表现出丰富的多样性。关于有性生殖的调控过程，尽管在动物、植物和真菌 ...

An increase in a flowering plant species self-pollinating, or “selfing,” isn’t always a bad thing, said Gretchen LeBuhn, a professor of biology at San Francisco State University who has ...

A group of 'selfing' monkeyflower plants lost 13% to 24% of their genetic variation compared to another group that were propagated by bumble bees. This loss could rob the plants of their ability ...

A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as "selfing," is that one individual of these plants can single-handedly populate entire areas. However, selfing also has clear negative ...

According to the study’s co-author, Pierre-Oliver Cheptou, the plant’s evolution over this period has resulted in a 25 percent increase in self-pollination (or selfing) in modern two plants.
