Ploidy effects on the relationship between floral phenotype, reproductive investment, and fitness in an autogamous species complex.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: The relationships between reproductive investment, phenotype, and fitness have been broadly studied in cross-pollinated plants in contrast to selfing species, which are considered less interesting in this area because they are supposed to be a dead end in any evolutionary pathway. Still, selfing plants are unique systems to study these questions since the position of reproductive structures and traits...
