The influence of environmental factors, the pollen : ovule ratio and seed bank persistence on molecular evolutionary rates in plants.

Abstract excerpt

One of the main goals of molecular evolutionary biology is to determine the factors that influence the evolutionary rate of selectively neutral DNA, but much remains unknown, especially for plants. Key factors that could alter the mutation rate include environmental tolerances (because they reflect a plants vulnerability to changes in habitat), the pollen:ovule ratio (as it is associated with the number of...
