Genetic constraints on floral evolution in a sexually dimorphic plant revealed by artificial selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Sexual dimorphism is one of the most widespread and recognizable patterns of phenotypic variation in the biotic world. Sexual dimorphism in floral display is striking in the dioecious plant Silene latifolia, with males making many, small flowers compared to females. We investigated this dimorphism via artificial selection on two populations to determine whether genetic variation exists within populations for...
