Kin selection and the evolution of plant reproductive traits.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 16 Nov 2016

Bawa Kamaljit S

Abstract excerpt

Competition among developing seeds and sibling rivalry within multiovulated ovaries can be deleterious for both the maternal parent and the siblings. Increased genetic relatedness of seeds within the ovary may foster kin selection and reduce the deleterious consequences of sibling competition. The pollen parent may also be selected for siring all progeny within a fruit. I propose a series of hypotheses to explain...
