Evolution: Cleistogamy to the rescue of zygomorphic flowers
2021年4月12日 · Cleistogamous flowers never fully bloom and are thought to have evolved as a means to promote self-fertilisation. A new study reveals that this curious feature arose more frequently in flowers with bilateral symmetry. Bisexuality is a …

2023年8月29日 · (c) Cleistogamy: Cleistogamy is a condition favouring self pollination, in which the flower remains closed even at maturity of anther and stigma. (d) Emasculation: Emasculation is the process of removal of anther in young flower for ensuring artificial pollination.
Repeated evolution of a reproductive polyphenism in plants is …
2021年4月12日 · One of the most widespread polyphenisms in the flowering plants is cleistogamy, in which the same individual plant produces both open, cross-pollinated flowers as well as highly reduced and closed, self-pollinated (cleistogamous) flowers. 1–5 Cleistogamy is not a rare evolutionary phenomenon.

2007年1月1日 · Cleistogamy, a breeding system in which permanently closed, self-pollinated flowers are produced, has received increasing attention in recent years, but the last comprehensive review of...

1981年10月1日 · Cleistogamy—the production of open (chasmogamous—CH) and closed (cleistogamous—CL) floral forms by a species—is widespread among the angiosperms. While the CL flower is autogamous, the CH flower may provide a means for outcrossing. The term “cleistogamy” has also been used to describe other phenomena.
Cleistogamy: A tool for the study of floral morphogenesis
In this review, a restricted definition of cleistogamy is used to refer to species which show real floral dimorphisms, with divergent developmental pathways leading to CL and CH as well as intermediate floral forms. Reductions in the androecium and corolla are the most common feature of the CL flowers.
The Cleistogamous Breeding System: A Review of Its Frequency
Cleistogamy, a sexual breeding system defined as the production of permanently closed, self-pollinated flowers, has intrigued botanists for centuries and is now recognized as an important system found in a variety of plant taxa. The term was first used by Kuhn in 1867 to describe bud-like flowers that never opened but yet developed into fruit.

Evolution: Cleistogamy to the rescue of zygomorphic flowers
2021年4月12日 · A new study by Joly and Schoen 5 published in this issue of Current Biology now shows that cleistogamy evolved more frequently in flowers with bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) as predicted by Charles Darwin nearly 150 years ago. To do so, the authors assembled a large, impressive dataset of cleistogamy presence and floral symmetry for 2,523 ...
