The Evolutionary Dynamics of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility

TL;DR: A striking difference was observed between the potential genetic control of male sterility built into the simulation model, which reflects assumptions about the underlying physiological mechanisms of normal and aberrant pollen production, and the types of genetic control that would be inferred by performing classical genetic crossing experiments on a sample of the simulated population.

Five evolutionary pathways to subdioecy

M. D. Ross
TL;DR: A genetic model which represents both hermaphrodite or monoecious populations, and their direct differentiation toward dioecy is given, and several selection models, involving fertility variation, resource allocation, sexual selection, and overdominance, are shown to be equivalent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance variation within and among host populations in a plant–pathogen metapopulation: implications for regional pathogen dynamics

TL;DR: Non‐infected populations showed significantly higher mean levels of resistance than infected populations, suggesting that differences in the mean level of resistance among host populations may retard the spread of the fungus and thereby decrease the probability of regional epidemics.

The evolution of gynodioecy and subdioecy.

M D Ross
- 01 Mar 1978 - 
TL;DR: This paper aims to test Ross and Weir's hypothesis by studying a recessive gene for male sterility and a nonrecessive gene for partial female sterility in Melandrium, and shows that there are interactions such that even without linkage there may be more females in equilibrium populations in the presence of partially female-sterile hermaphrodites than in their absence, and vice versa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maintenance of male sterility in plant populations

TL;DR: Two models of monogenic recessive male sterility are presented, first where the male-steriles are always fully pollinated and second where they are only pollinated to the extent that hermaphrodites are crossed (limited-fitness model).

The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species

TL;DR: New York University Press's new paperback edition makes it possible to review Darwin's public literary output as a whole, plus his scientific journal articles, his private notebooks, and his correspondence as mentioned in this paper.

Handbook of flower pollination

TL;DR: The English translation of Knuth's handbook of Flower Pollination concludes that portion of the handbook for which that author was himself responsible, and contains the observations made in Europe and the Arctic regions.

Evolutionary Mechanisms in Pollination Biology: Origins and functions of floral systems are being elucidated by genetical and ecological studies

TL;DR: In the article "Evolutionary mechanisms in pollination biology" by H. G. Baker the fifth line up in the next-to-last paragraph should have read: (. . . visited by large carpenter bees of the Xylocopidae ).
