Gender plasticity and sexual system stability in Wurmbea.

Annals of botany - 1 Feb 2012

Vaughton Glenda, Ramsey Mike

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Sexually dimorphic populations are often located in drier habitats than cosexual populations. Gender plasticity (GP), whereby hermaphrodites alter female and male functions depending on resources, and sex-differential plasticity (SDP) between hermaphrodites and unisexuals are predicted to affect sexual system stability. Here, GP and SDP are evaluated in cosexual and gynodioecious Wurmbea...
