Natural selection on floral traits of female Silene dioica by a sexually transmitted disease.

The New phytologist - 1 Jan 2006

Giles Barbara E, Pettersson Tor Mikael, Carlsson-Granér Ulla, Ingvarsson Pär K

Abstract excerpt

Floral traits endowing high reproductive fitness can also affect the probability of plants contracting sexually transmitted diseases. We explore how variations in floral traits influence the fitness of Silene dioica females in their interactions with pollinators carrying pollen or spores of the sterilizing anther-smut fungus Microbotryum violaceum. We collected healthy and infected plants in a highly diseased...
