Abstract excerpt
Nuclear-cytoplasmic gynodioecy is a breeding system of plants in which females and hermaphrodites co-occur in populations, and gender is jointly determined by cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes and nuclear restorers of male fertility. Persistent polymorphism at both CMS and nuclear-restorer loci is necessary to maintain this breeding system. Theoretical models have explained how nuclear-cytoplasmic gynodioecy...
