Selection occurs within linear fruit and during the early stages of reproduction in Robinia pseudoacacia.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pollen donor compositions differ during the early stages of reproduction due to various selection mechanisms. In addition, ovules linearly ordered within a fruit have different probabilities of reaching maturity. Few attempts, however, have been made to directly examine the magnitude and timing of selection, as well as the mechanisms during early life stages and within fruit. Robinia pseudoacacia,...
