Gynodioecy is 8 breeding system consisting of male, steriles (MS, females) and hermaphrodites
(H). There is however within such systems a third, often neglected, class of partially …

The genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity of relative growth rate (RGR), its components and
associated morphological traits was studied in relation to nutrient limitation. In all, 140 F 3 …

The mode of inheritance of the male sterility trait is crucial for understanding the evolutionary
dynamics of the sexual system gynodioecy, which is the co-occurrence of female and …

Mitochondrial variation in Plantago lanceolata was used to detect new CMS types. Directional
reciprocal crosses were made between plants which differed in mtDNA restriction patterns…

Pollinating fig wasps (Hymenoptera, Agaonidae) have been the focus of numerous studies
examining sex ratio evolution. Recently, molecular genetic techniques have been introduced …

Modes of sexual reproduction in Plantago spp. are discussed. They include the production of
male and female gametes, the transport of pollen to the stigmatic surface, the growth of the …

Gynodioecy is a dimorphic breeding system in which hermaphrodites coexist with male
steriles in natural populations. Theoretical models predict that without any compensation in …

Theoretical models predict that male sterile plants of gynodioecious species should show at
least some compensation for their disadvantage of not reproducing as males through female …

To establish the feasibility of a cytoplasmtype assay based on molecular hybridizations,
mitochondrial DNAs from the two male-sterile cytoplasms of Plantago lanceolata (P and R) were …

The Resource Availability Hypothesis (RAH) states that plants with a low Relative Growth
Rate (RGR) and high levels of defence against herbivores or pathogens are favoured in …
