Harnessing natural genetic variation is an established alternative to artificial genetic
variation for investigating the molecular dialog between partners in plant pathosystems …

The transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization is one of the most common evolutionary
changes in plants, yet only about 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly selfing. To …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an exceptionally climate-resilient cereal crop, used extensively to
produce improved wheat varieties via introgressive hybridization and possessing the entire …

We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …

Over the past 20 y, many studies have examined the history of the plant ecological and
molecular model, Arabidopsis thaliana, in Europe and North America. Although these …

Adaptation requires genetic variation, but founder populations are generally genetically
depleted. Here we sequence two populations of an inbred ant that diverge in phenotype to …

Flowering plants display spectacular floral diversity and a bewildering array of reproductive
adaptations that promote mating, particularly outbreeding. A striking feature of this diversity …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

Evaluating the factors that drive patterns of population differentiation in plants is critical for
understanding several biological processes such as local adaptation and incipient …

The evolution from outcrossing to predominant self-fertilization represents one of the most
common transitions in flowering plant evolution. This shift in mating system is almost …
