Abstract excerpt
Theoretical and empirical comparisons of molecular diversity in selfing and outcrossing plants have primarily focused on long-term consequences of differences in mating system (between species). However, improving our understanding of the causes of mating system evolution requires ecological and genetic studies of the early stages of mating system transition. Here, we examine nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences...
