Carney S E, Arnold M L
Abstract excerpt
A level of reproductive isolation is necessary for the process of genetic divergence. Such isolation also prevents the homogenization of species following secondary contact. This study is an investigation of the relative contribution of two prefertilization mechanisms, pollen-tube growth rate and pollen-tube attrition, to the reproductive isolation of Iris fulva and I. brevicaulis, two naturally hybridizing...
