Mating system of a heavy-metal-tolerant plant
The pseudometallophyte Noccaea caerulescens is an excellent model to study adaptation to heterogeneous environments, as it grows both on normal and on heavy-metal-rich, toxic soils. Information on its mating system is...
Pollen dispersal and breeding structure in Petunia
Results show that most pollen dispersal in subsp. axillaris occurs within populations and there is a high proportion of inbreeding.
