Heteromorphic incompatibility and efficiency of pollination in two distylous Pentanisia species (Rubiaceae).

Annals of botany - 1 Feb 2005

Massinga Paulo H, Johnson Steven D, Harder Lawrence D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Distyly has been hypothesized to promote cross-pollination by reducing intrafloral and geitonogamous self-pollination, and enhancing intermorph pollination. Distylous plants typically display both reciprocal herkogamy and a heteromorphic incompatibility system, which allows mating only between morphs. Distyly and its pollination consequences were examined in two Pentanisia species with...
