The genetics of mirror-image flowers.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2002

Jesson Linley K, Barrett Spencer C H

Abstract excerpt

Conspicuous asymmetries in forms that are polymorphic within a species can be genetically or environmentally determined. Here, we present a genetic analysis of the inheritance of dimorphic enantiostyly, a sexual polymorphism in which all flowers on a plant have styles that are consistently deflected either to the left or the right side of the floral axis. Using Heteranthera multiflora (Pontederiaceae), a...
