Floral traits underlying mating system differentiation in the wind-pollinated sister species Oryza rufipogon and Oryza nivara
Abstract. The shift from outcrossing to predominantly selfing is one of the most common transitions in plant evolution. This evolutionary shift has receive

Biotic pressure outweighs the influence of resource availability on physical defence investment in a tropical tree
Plants defend themselves from herbivores using features like thorns. According to the resource availability hypothesis, a plant’s defenses depend on soil q

Interconnected idioblasts in Peltaea polymorpha: a novel component of the mucilage-secretory apparatus in Malvaceae
Abstract. The anatomical and cytological characteristics of the mucilage-secretory system have been widely studied in Malvaceae. However, conflicting infor
