Reproductive systems of flowering plants are evolutionarily fluid, with mating patterns
changing in response to shifts in abiotic conditions, pollination systems, and population …

Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing in flowering plants have convergent
morphological and genomic signatures and can involve parallel evolution within related …

The mating system shift from outcrossing to selfing is one of the most frequent evolutionary
trends in flowering plants. However, the genomic consequences of this shift remain poorly …

Introgression is an important source of genetic variation that can determine species
adaptation to environmental conditions. Yet, definitive evidence of the genomic and adaptive …

Distyly is an iconic floral polymorphism governed by a supergene, which promotes efficient
pollen transfer and outcrossing through reciprocal differences in the position of sexual …

Biodiversity hotspots, such as the Caucasus mountains, provide unprecedented
opportunities for understanding the evolutionary processes that shape species diversity and …

Ecological niche shifts are a key driver of phenotypic divergence and contribute to isolating
barriers among lineages. For many groups of organisms, the history of these shifts and …

Distyly, a floral dimorphism that promotes outcrossing, is controlled by a hemizygous
genomic region known as the S‐locus. Disruptions of genes within the S‐locus are …

The distylous plant Primula veris has long served as a model species for studying
heterostyly, that is the occurrence of multiple floral morphs within a population to ensure …

Uniparental reproduction is advantageous when lack of mates limits outcrossing
opportunities in plants. Baker's law predicts an enrichment of uniparental reproduction in …
