Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The pseudometallophyte Noccaea caerulescens is an excellent model to study evolutionary processes, as it grows both on normal and on heavy-metal-rich, toxic soils. The evolution and demography of populations are critically impacted by mating system and, yet, information about the N. caerulescens mating system is limited. METHODS: Mean selfing rates were assessed using microsatellite loci and...
