Adaptive Reduction of Male Gamete Number in a Selfing Species

2018-02-28

Abstract excerpt

The number of male gametes produced is critical for reproductive success and varies greatly between and within species 1–3 . Evolutionary reduction of male gamete production has been widely reported in plants as a hallmark of the selfing syndrome, as well as in humans. Such a reduction may simply represent deleterious decay 4–7 , but evolutionary theory predicts that breeding systems could act as a major selecti...
