Plasticity and the genetics of reproductive behaviour in the monocarpic perennial, Lobelia inflata (Indian tobacco).

Abstract excerpt

The timing of reproduction is an important life-history variable, especially for organisms that die following a single reproductive episode, such as the monocarp Lobelia inflata. The propensity to initiate flowering (to bolt) under a given set of conditions is expected to be shaped by natural selection acting on the norms of reaction for bolting behaviour over, for example, changing photoperiods. We study the...
