Pollination, breeding system, and genetic structure in two sympatric Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) species.
Two sympatric Delphinium species, D. barbeyi and D. nuttallianum, are ecologically and morphologically similar. However, D. barbeyi has multiple, large inflorescences while D. nuttallianum has a single, small inflorescence. These differences in floral display should result in greater intraplant pollen transfer in D. barbeyi, leading to higher rates of self-pollination through geitonogamy. Reduc...
متن کاملBreeding system and pollination of two closely related bamboo species
An understanding of the breeding systems and pollination of agriculturally important plants is critical to germplasm improvement. Breeding system characteristics greatly influence the amount and spatial distribution of genetic variation within and amongst populations and influence the rarity and extinction vulnerability of plant species. Many woody bamboos have a long vegetative period (20-150 ...
متن کاملReproductive Biology of Two Sympatric Species of Polyalthia (annonaceae) in Sri Lanka. Ii. Breeding Systems and Population Genetic Structure
The breeding systems of two sympatric species, Polyalthia coffeoides and Polyalthia korinti (Annonaceae), are assessed using a range of approaches, including controlled pollination experiments and analysis of intersimple sequence repeat markers within and between populations. Natural (open) pollination resulted in similar levels of fruit formation as artificial cross-pollination, suggesting tha...
متن کاملBreeding system and pollination ecology of two Abrus species (Fabaceae) from tropical West Africa
The pollination and breeding strategies of two Abrus species (A. precatorius L. and A. pulchellus Wall. ex Thw.) were comparatively investigated in Nigeria, West Africa. Observations were made on the phenology, floral morphology and architecture, breeding and pollination system, as well as flower-insect interactions. During 1999–2000, Abrus precatorius was observed to flower twice a year (April...
متن کاملHabitat predictors of genetic diversity for two sympatric wetland‐breeding amphibian species
Population genetic diversity is widely accepted as important to the conservation and management of wildlife. However, habitat features may differentially affect evolutionary processes that facilitate population genetic diversity among sympatric species. We measured genetic diversity for two pond-breeding amphibian species (Dwarf salamanders, Eurycea quadridigitata; and Southern Leopard frogs, L...
