Premise

Leaf tensile resistance, a leaf's ability to withstand pulling forces, is an important determinant of plant ecological strategies. One potential driver of leaf tensile resistance is growing season length. When growing seasons are long, strong leaves, which often require more time and resources to construct than weak leaves, may be more advantageous than when growing seasons are short. Growing season length and other ecological conditions may also impact the morphological traits that underlie leaf tensile resistance.

Methods

To understand variation in leaf tensile resistance, we measured size-dependent leaf strength and size-independent leaf toughness in diverse genotypes of the widespread perennial grass Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) in a common garden. We then used quantitative genetic approaches to estimate the heritability of leaf tensile resistance and whether there were genetic correlations between leaf tensile resistance and other morphological traits.

Results

Leaf tensile resistance was positively associated with aboveground biomass (a proxy for fitness). Moreover, both measures of leaf tensile resistance exhibited high heritability and were positively genetically correlated with leaf lamina thickness and leaf mass per area (LMA). Leaf tensile resistance also increased with the growing season length in the habitat of origin, and this effect was mediated by both LMA and leaf thickness.

Conclusions

Differences in growing season length may promote selection for different leaf lifespans and may explain existing variation in leaf tensile resistance in P. virgatum. In addition, the high heritability of leaf tensile resistance suggests that P. virgatum will be able to respond to climate change as growing seasons lengthen.

前言:叶片抗张性(叶片承受拉力的能力)是植物生态策略的一个重要决定因素。叶片抗拉力的一个潜在驱动因素是生长季的长度。当生长季节较长时,强壮的叶片往往比薄弱的叶片需要更多的时间和资源来构建,因此强壮的叶片可能比生长季节较短时更有优势。生长季长度和其他生态条件也可能影响叶片抗张性的形态特征:为了了解叶片抗张性的变异,我们在一个普通花园中测量了广泛生长的多年生禾本科植物稗(Panicum virgatum)的不同基因型中与大小相关的叶片强度和与大小无关的叶片韧性。然后,我们使用定量遗传方法估算了叶片抗张性的遗传率,以及叶片抗张性与其他形态性状之间是否存在遗传相关性:结果:叶片抗张性与地上生物量(代表适应性)呈正相关。此外,叶片抗张性的两个测量值都表现出很高的遗传率,并且与叶片厚度和单位面积叶片质量(LMA)呈正遗传相关。叶片抗张性也随原产地生长季长度的增加而增加,这种效应受 LMA 和叶片厚度的影响:结论:生长季长度的差异可能会促进对不同叶片寿命的选择,也可能解释了 virgatum 叶片抗张性的现有差异。此外,叶片抗张性的高遗传性表明,随着生长季节的延长,病毒属植物将能够应对气候变化。

Premise

Shared geographical patterns of population genetic variation among related species is a powerful means to identify the historical events that drive diversification. The Sphagnum capillifolium complex is a group of closely related peat mosses within the Sphagnum subgenus Acutifolia and contains several circumboreal species whose ranges encompass both glaciated and unglaciated regions across the northern hemisphere. In this paper, we (1) inferred the phylogeny of subg. Acutifolia and (2) investigated patterns of population structure and genetic diversity among five circumboreal species within the S. capillifolium complex.

Methods

We generated RAD sequencing data from most species of the subg. Acutifolia and samples from across the distribution ranges of circumboreal species within the S. capillifolium complex.

Results

We resolved at least 14 phylogenetic clusters within the S. capillifolium complex. Five circumboreal species show some common patterns: One population system comprises plants in eastern North America and Europe, and another comprises plants in the Pacific Northwest or around the Beringian and Arctic regions. Alaska appears to be a hotspot for genetic admixture, genetic diversity, and sometimes endemic subclades.

Conclusions

Our results support the hypothesis that populations of five circumboreal species within the S. capillifolium complex survived in multiple refugia during the last glacial maximum. Long-distance dispersal out of refugia, population bottlenecks, and possible adaptations to conditions unique to each refugium could have contributed to current geographic patterns. These results indicate the important role of historical events in shaping the complex population structure of plants with broad distribution ranges.

前提:相关物种之间种群遗传变异的共同地理模式是确定驱动物种多样化的历史事件的有力手段。Sphagnum capillifolium复合体是Sphagnum亚属Acutifolia中一组亲缘关系密切的泥炭藓,包含几个环游物种,其分布范围涵盖北半球的冰川和非冰川地区。在本文中,我们(1)推断了 Acutifolia 亚属的系统发育,(2)研究了 capillifolium 群中五个环生物种的种群结构和遗传多样性模式:方法:我们从 Acutifolia 亚种的大多数物种以及霞糠穗草 S. capillifolium 复合体中的环生物种的分布范围内采集了 RAD 测序数据:结果:我们在 S. capillifolium 复合体中解析了至少 14 个系统发生群。五个环生物种显示出一些共同的模式:一个种群系统包括北美东部和欧洲的植物,另一个种群系统包括太平洋西北部或白令海和北极地区周围的植物。阿拉斯加似乎是遗传混合、遗传多样性的热点地区,有时还具有地方性亚支系:我们的研究结果支持这样的假设,即在上一个冰川极盛时期,霞糠穗草复合体中的五个环周物种的种群在多个避难所生存。从缓冲地带向外的长距离扩散、种群瓶颈以及对每个缓冲地带独特条件的可能适应,都可能促成了目前的地理格局。这些结果表明,历史事件在形成分布范围广泛的植物的复杂种群结构方面发挥着重要作用。

Premise

Apomixis in ferns is relatively common and obligatory. Sterile hybrids may restore fertility via apomixis at a cost of long-term genetic stagnation. In this study, we outlined apomixis as a possible temporary phase leading to sexuality and analyzed factors relating to transitioning to and away from apomixis, such as unreduced and reduced spore formation in apomict and apo-sex hybrid ferns.

Methods

We analyzed the genome size of 15 fern species or hybrids (“taxa”) via flow cytometry. The number of reduced and unreduced gametophytes was established as a proxy for viable spore formation of either type. We also calculated the spore abortion ratio (sign of reduced spores) in several taxa, including the apo-sex hybrid Dryopteris × critica and its 16 apomictically formed offspring.

Results

Four of 15 sampled taxa yielded offspring variable in genome size. Specifically, each variable taxon formed one viable reduced plant among 12–451 sampled gametophytes per taxon. Thus, haploid spore formation in the studied apomicts was very rare but possible. Spore abortion analyses indicated gradually decreasing abortion (haploid spore formation) over time. In Dryopteris × critica, abortion decreased from 93.8% to mean 89.5% in one generation.

Conclusions

Our results support apomixis as a transitionary phase toward sexuality. Newly formed apomicts hybridize with sexual relatives and continue to form haploid spores early on. Thus, they may get the genomic content necessary for regular meiosis and restore sexuality. If the missing relative goes extinct, the lineage gets locked into apomixis as may be the case with the Dryopteris affinis complex.

前提:蕨类植物的无性繁殖比较常见,而且是强制性的。不育杂交种可能通过无性繁殖恢复生育能力,但代价是长期的遗传停滞。在这项研究中,我们将无性繁殖概述为通向有性生殖的一个可能的暂时阶段,并分析了与过渡到无性繁殖和脱离无性繁殖有关的因素,如无性繁殖和有性杂交蕨类植物中未减少和减少的孢子形成:我们通过流式细胞仪分析了 15 个蕨类物种或杂交种("类群")的基因组大小。还原配子体和未还原配子体的数量被确定为任一类型有活力孢子形成的代表。我们还计算了几个类群的孢子流产率(减数孢子的标志),包括无性繁殖的杂交种 Dryopteris × critica 及其 16 个无花果形成的后代:结果:15 个取样类群中有 4 个类群产生了基因组大小可变的后代。具体来说,在每个类群的 12-451 个配子体样本中,每个可变类群都形成了一个能存活的退化植株。因此,在所研究的无脊椎动物中,单倍体孢子的形成非常罕见,但却是可能的。孢子流产分析表明,随着时间的推移,流产(单倍体孢子形成)逐渐减少。在 Dryopteris × critica 中,一代的流产率从 93.8% 降至平均 89.5%:我们的研究结果表明,有丝分裂是有性生殖的过渡阶段。新形成的无花果与有性亲缘植物杂交,并在早期继续形成单倍体孢子。因此,它们可能获得正常减数分裂所需的基因组内容,并恢复性能力。如果缺失的亲缘种灭绝了,那么这个种系就会被锁定在无性繁殖中,Dryopteris affinis complex 就是这种情况。

Premise

We assessed changes in traits associated with water economy across climatic gradients in the ecologically similar peat mosses Sphagnum cuspidatum and Sphagnum lindbergii. These species have parapatric distributions in Europe and have similar niches in bogs. Sphagnum species of bogs are closely related, with a large degree of microhabitat niche overlap between many species that can be functionally very similar. Despite this, ecologically similar species do have different distributional ranges along climatic gradients that partly overlap. These gradients may favor particular Sphagnum traits, especially in relation to water economy, which can be hypothesized to drive species divergence by character displacement.

Methods

We investigated traits relevant for water economy of two parapatric bryophytes (Sphagnum cuspidatum and S. lindbergii) across the border of their distributional limits. We included both shoot traits and canopy traits, i.e., collective traits of the moss surface, quantified by photogrammetry.

Results

The two species are ecologically similar and occur at similar positions along the hydrological gradient in bogs. The biggest differences between the species were expressed in the variations of their canopy surfaces, particularly surface roughness and in the responses of important traits such as capitulum mass to climate. We did not find support for character displacement, because traits were not more dissimilar in sympatric than in allopatric populations.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that parapatry within Sphagnum can be understood from just a few climatic variables and that climatic factors are stronger drivers than competition behind trait variation within these species of Sphagnum.

前提:我们评估了生态上相似的泥炭藓 Sphagnum cuspidatum 和 Sphagnum lindbergii 在不同气候梯度下与水分经济相关的特征变化。这些物种在欧洲同域分布,在沼泽中具有相似的生境。沼泽中的泥炭藓物种亲缘关系密切,许多物种之间的微生境壁龛有很大程度的重叠,在功能上非常相似。尽管如此,生态上相似的物种在部分重叠的气候梯度上确实有不同的分布范围。这些梯度可能有利于特殊的泥炭藓性状,尤其是与水经济相关的性状,这可以被假设为通过性状位移来驱动物种分化:方法:我们研究了两种准同域红叶石楠(Sphagnum cuspidatum和S. lindbergii)在其分布区边界上与水分经济相关的特征。我们将嫩枝特征和冠层特征(即通过摄影测量量化的苔藓表面的整体特征)都包括在内:结果:这两个物种在生态学上相似,在沼泽水文梯度上的分布位置也相似。物种间最大的差异表现在冠层表面的变化,尤其是表面粗糙度,以及蘑菇头质量等重要特征对气候的反应。我们没有发现支持特征位移的证据,因为同域种群的特征差异并不比异域种群大:结论:我们的研究结果表明,仅从几个气候变量就能了解斯帕格诺植物的同域性,而且气候因素比竞争因素更能推动斯帕格诺植物这些物种的性状变异。

Premise

During the last centuries, the area covered by urban landscapes is increasing all over the world. Urbanization can change local habitats and decrease connectivity among these habitats, with important consequences for species interactions. While several studies have found a major imprint of urbanization on plant–insect interactions, the effects of urbanization on seed predation remain largely unexplored.

Methods

We investigated the relative impact of sunlight exposure, leaf litter, and spatial connectivity on predation by moth and weevil larvae on acorns of the pedunculate oak across an urban landscape during 2018 and 2020. We also examined whether infestations by moths and weevils were independent of each other.

Results

While seed predation varied strongly among trees, seed predation was not related to differences in sunlight exposure, leaf litter, or spatial connectivity. Seed predation by moths and weevils was negatively correlated at the level of individual acorns in 2018, but positively correlated at the acorn and the tree level in 2020.

Conclusions

Our study sets the baseline expectation that urban seed predators are unaffected by differences in sunlight exposure, leaf litter, and spatial connectivity. Overall, our findings suggest that the impact of local and spatial factors on insects within an urban context may depend on the species guild. Understanding the impact of local and spatial factors on biodiversity, food web structure, and ecosystem functioning can provide valuable insights for urban planning and management strategies aimed at promoting urban insect diversity.

前言:在过去的几个世纪中,城市景观覆盖的面积在世界各地不断增加。城市化会改变当地的栖息地,降低这些栖息地之间的连通性,从而对物种间的相互作用产生重要影响。虽然一些研究发现城市化对植物与昆虫之间的相互作用产生了重大影响,但城市化对种子捕食的影响在很大程度上仍未得到探讨:我们调查了 2018 年和 2020 年期间阳光照射、落叶和空间连通性对城市景观中飞蛾和象鼻虫幼虫捕食有梗橡子的相对影响。我们还研究了飞蛾和象鼻虫的侵袭是否相互独立:虽然不同树木之间的种子捕食差异很大,但种子捕食与阳光照射、落叶或空间连通性的差异无关。2018年,飞蛾和象鼻虫对种子的捕食在单个橡子水平上呈负相关,但在2020年,在橡子和树木水平上呈正相关:我们的研究设定了一个基本预期,即城市种子捕食者不受阳光照射、落叶和空间连通性差异的影响。总之,我们的研究结果表明,在城市环境中,地方和空间因素对昆虫的影响可能取决于物种的种类。了解地方和空间因素对生物多样性、食物网结构和生态系统功能的影响,可以为旨在促进城市昆虫多样性的城市规划和管理策略提供有价值的见解。

Premise: Soil microbes can influence patterns of diversity in plant communities via plant-soil feedbacks. Intraspecific plant-soil feedbacks occur when plant genotype leads to variations in soil microbial composition, resulting in differences in the performance of seedlings growing near their maternal plants versus seedlings growing near nonmaternal conspecific plants. How consistently such intraspecific plant-soil feedbacks occur in natural plant communities is unclear, especially in variable field conditions.

Methods: In an in situ experiment with four native tree species on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama, seedlings of each species were transplanted beneath their maternal tree or another conspecific tree in the BCI forest. Mortality and growth were assessed at the end of the wet season (~4 months post-transplant) and at the end of the experiment (~7 months post-transplant).

Results: Differences in seedling performance among field treatments were inconsistent among species and eroded over time. Effects of field environment were detected at the end of the wet season in two of the four species: Virola surinamensis seedlings had higher survival beneath their maternal tree than other conspecific trees, while seedling survival of Ormosia macrocalyx was higher under other conspecific trees. However, these differences were gone by the end of the experiment.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that intraspecific plant-soil feedbacks may not be consistent in the field for tropical tree species and may have a limited role in determining seedling performance in tropical tree communities. Future studies are needed to elucidate the environmental and genetic factors that determine the incidence and direction of intraspecific plant-soil feedbacks in plant communities.

前提:土壤微生物可通过植物-土壤反馈影响植物群落的多样性模式。当植物基因型导致土壤微生物组成发生变化时,就会产生特定植物内部的植物-土壤反馈,从而导致生长在母本植物附近的幼苗与生长在非母本同种植物附近的幼苗的表现出现差异。在自然植物群落中,尤其是在多变的野外条件下,这种特定植物内的植物-土壤反馈如何持续发生尚不清楚:方法:在巴拿马巴罗科罗拉多岛(BCI)对四种本地树种进行了一次原地实验,将每种树种的幼苗移植到其母树或 BCI 森林中的另一种同种树下。在雨季结束时(移植后约 4 个月)和实验结束时(移植后约 7 个月)对幼苗的死亡率和生长情况进行评估:结果:不同物种在田间处理中的幼苗表现差异并不一致,而且会随着时间的推移而减弱。四个物种中有两个物种在雨季结束时发现了田间环境的影响:Virola surinamensis幼苗在母树下的存活率高于其他同种树木,而Ormosia macrocalyx幼苗在其他同种树木下的存活率更高。然而,这些差异在实验结束时已经消失:我们的研究结果表明,热带树种的植物-土壤内部反馈在野外可能并不一致,在热带树木群落中决定幼苗表现的作用可能有限。未来的研究需要阐明决定植物群落中种内植物-土壤反馈发生率和方向的环境和遗传因素。

Premise

Previous studies have suggested a trade-off between trichome density (Dt) and stomatal density (Ds) due to shared cell precursors. We clarified how, when, and why this developmental trade-off may be overcome across species.

Methods

We derived equations to determine the developmental basis for Dt and Ds in trichome and stomatal indices (it and is) and the sizes of epidermal pavement cells (e), trichome bases (t), and stomata (s) and quantified the importance of these determinants of Dt and Ds for 78 California species. We compiled 17 previous studies of DtDs relationships to determine the commonness of DtDs associations. We modeled the consequences of different DtDs associations for plant carbon balance.

Results

Our analyses showed that higher Dt was determined by higher it and lower e, and higher Ds by higher is and lower e. Across California species, positive DtDs coordination arose due to itis coordination and impacts of the variation in e. A DtDs trade-off was found in only 30% of studies. Heuristic modeling showed that species sets would have the highest carbon balance with a positive or negative relationship or decoupling of Dt and Ds, depending on environmental conditions.

Conclusions

Shared precursor cells of trichomes and stomata do not limit higher numbers of both cell types or drive a general DtDs trade-off across species. This developmental flexibility across diverse species enables different DtDs associations according to environmental pressures. Developmental trait analysis can clarify how contrasting trait associations would arise within and across species.

前提:以前的研究表明,由于共享细胞前体,毛状体密度(Dt)和气孔密度(Ds)之间存在权衡。我们阐明了这一发育权衡在不同物种间如何、何时以及为何会被克服:方法:我们推导了一些方程,以确定毛状体和气孔指数(it 和 is)中 Dt 和 Ds 的发育基础,以及表皮铺层细胞(e)、毛状体基部(t)和气孔(s)的大小,并量化了这些决定因素对 78 个加利福尼亚物种的 Dt 和 Ds 的重要性。我们汇编了之前关于 Dt-Ds 关系的 17 项研究,以确定 Dt-Ds 关联的普遍性。我们模拟了不同的 Dt-Ds 关联对植物碳平衡的影响:我们的分析表明,较高的 Dt 是由较高的 it 和较低的 e 决定的,而较高的 Ds 则是由较高的 is 和较低的 e 决定的。在加州的所有物种中,正的 Dt-Ds 协调是由于 it-is 协调和 e 变化的影响而产生的。启发式建模显示,根据环境条件的不同,Dt 和 Ds 的正负关系或脱钩的物种集的碳平衡度最高:结论:毛状体和气孔的共用前体细胞并不会限制两种细胞类型的较高数量,也不会导致物种间普遍的 Dt-Ds 权衡。不同物种之间的这种发育灵活性使得Dt-Ds可以根据环境压力进行不同的组合。发育性状分析可以阐明物种内和物种间如何产生截然不同的性状关联。

Premise

Increasingly complete phylogenies underpin studies in systematics, ecology, and evolution. Myrteae (Myrtaceae), with ~2700 species, is a key component of the exceptionally diverse Neotropical flora, but given its complicated taxonomy, automated assembling of molecular supermatrices from public databases often lead to unreliable topologies due to poor species identification.

Methods

Here, we build a taxonomically verified molecular supermatrix of Neotropical Myrteae by assembling 3909 published and 1004 unpublished sequences from two nuclear and seven plastid molecular markers. We infer a time-calibrated phylogenetic tree that covers 712 species of Myrteae (~28% of the total diversity in the clade) and evaluate geographic and taxonomic gaps in sampling.

Results

The tree inferred from the fully concatenated matrix mostly reflects the topology of the plastid data set and there is a moderate to strong incongruence between trees inferred from nuclear and plastid partitions. Large, species-rich genera are still the poorest sampled within the group. Eastern South America is the best-represented area in proportion to its species diversity, while Western Amazon, Mesoamerica, and the Caribbean are the least represented.

Conclusions

We provide a time-calibrated tree that can be more reliably used to address finer-scale eco-evolutionary questions that involve this group in the Neotropics. Gaps to be filled by future studies include improving representation of taxa and areas that remain poorly sampled, investigating causes of conflict between nuclear and plastid partitions, and the role of hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting in relationships that are poorly supported.

前提:日益完整的系统发生是系统学、生态学和进化研究的基础。桃金娘科(Myrteae)有约 2700 个物种,是新热带植物群异常多样化的重要组成部分,但由于其分类复杂,从公共数据库中自动组装分子超级矩阵往往会因物种鉴定不力而导致拓扑结构不可靠。方法:在此,我们通过组装来自两个核分子标记和七个质粒分子标记的 3909 条已发表和 1004 条未发表序列,建立了经分类学验证的新热带桃金娘科分子超级矩阵。我们推断了一棵经过时间校准的系统发生树,涵盖了 712 个 Myrteae 物种(约占该支系总多样性的 28%),并评估了采样中的地理和分类差距:结果:从完全连接矩阵推断出的树大多反映了质体数据集的拓扑结构,而从核分区和质体分区推断出的树之间存在中度到强烈的不一致性。物种丰富的大属仍然是该类群中取样最差的。就物种多样性比例而言,南美洲东部是代表性最好的地区,而亚马逊西部、中美洲和加勒比海地区的代表性最低:我们提供了一棵经过时间校准的树,可以更可靠地用于解决涉及新热带地区该类群的更精细尺度的生态进化问题。未来研究需要填补的空白包括:提高取样较少的类群和地区的代表性、调查核分区和质分区之间冲突的原因,以及杂交和不完全世系分类在支持率较低的关系中的作用。

Premise

Quaternary climatic fluctuations and long-distance seed dispersal across the sea are critical factors affecting the distribution of coastal plants, but the spatiotemporal nature of population expansion and distribution change of East Asian coastal plants during this period are rarely examined. To explore this process, we investigated the genome-wide phylogenetic patterns of Euphorbia jolkinii Boiss. (Euphorbiaceae), which grows widely on littoral areas of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.

Methods

We used plastome sequences and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in samples across the species range to reveal phylogeographic patterns and spatiotemporal distributional changes. We conducted ecological niche modeling for the present and the last glacial maximum (LGM).

Results

Genetic differentiation was observed between the northern and southern populations of E. jolkinii, separated by the major biogeographic boundary, the Tokara Gap. These two groups of populations differentiated during the glacial period and subsequently intermingled in the intermorainic areas of the central Ryukyu Islands after the LGM. Ecological niche models suggested that the potential range of E. jolkinii was restricted to southern Kyushu; however, it was widespread in the southern Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan during the LGM.

Conclusions

This study provides evidence of genetic differentiation among coastal plant populations separated by the prominent biogeographical boundary. Although coastal plants are typically expected to maintain population connectivity through sea-drifted seed dispersal, our findings suggest that genetic differences may arise because of a combination of limited gene flow and changes in climate during the glacial period.

前提:第四纪的气候波动和种子的远距离跨海传播是影响滨海植物分布的关键因素,但这一时期东亚滨海植物种群扩张和分布变化的时空性质却鲜有研究。为了探究这一过程,我们研究了大戟科(Euphorbia jolkinii Boiss.(方法:方法:我们利用该物种分布区样本的质粒体序列和全基因组单核苷酸多态性来揭示其系统地理格局和时空分布变化。我们对现在和上一个冰川极盛时期(LGM)进行了生态位建模:结果:在被主要的生物地理界线托卡拉峡谷分隔开来的 E. jolkinii 北方种群和南方种群之间观察到了遗传分化。这两组种群在冰川期出现分化,随后在 LGM 之后在琉球群岛中部的山间地区相互融合。生态位模型表明,E. jolkinii 的潜在分布范围仅限于九州南部;但在 LGM 期间,它广泛分布于琉球群岛南部和台湾:结论:这项研究提供了被显著的生物地理边界分隔的沿海植物种群之间遗传分化的证据。尽管沿海植物通常会通过海漂种子传播来保持种群的连通性,但我们的研究结果表明,遗传差异的产生可能是由于冰川期有限的基因流动和气候变化共同作用的结果。

Harmful self-pollination drives gynodioecy in European chestnut, a self-incompatible tree 有害的自花授粉促使欧洲栗树(一种自交不亲和的树种)雌雄异花授粉。

Premise

Gynodioecy is a rare sexual system in which two genders (sensu Lloyd, 1980), cosexuals and females, coexist. To survive, female plants must compensate for their lack of siring capacity and male attractiveness. In European chestnut (Castanea sativa), an outcrossing tree, self-pollination reduces fruit set in cosexual individuals because of late-acting self-incompatibility and early inbreeding depression. Could this negative sexual interaction explain the presence of females in this species?

Methods

We studied gender variation in wild populations of European chestnut. In addition, we compared fruit set (the proportion of flowers giving fruits) and other key female fitness components as well as reproductive allocation between genders. We then performed emasculation experiments in cosexual trees, by removing nectar-producing fertile male inflorescences. We also removed sterile but nectar-producing male inflorescences from female trees, as a control.

Results

We found a highly variable proportion of male-sterile individuals in the wild in European chestnut. In the experimental plot, trees from each gender had similar size, flower density, and burr set, but different fruit set. Removing nectar-producing male inflorescences from branches or entire trees increased fruit set in cosexual but not in female trees.

Conclusions

These results show that self-pollination impairs fruit set in cosexual trees. Female trees avoid these problems as they do not produce pollen but continue to attract pollinators thanks to their rewarding male-sterile inflorescences, resulting in a much higher fruit set than in cosexuals. This demonstrates that even outcrossed plants can benefit from the cessation of self-pollination, to the point that unisexuality can evolve.

前言:雌雄同体是一种罕见的有性系统,其中有两种性别(参见劳埃德,1980 年),即同性和雌性共存。为了生存,雌性植物必须弥补其缺乏交配能力和雄性吸引力的缺陷。欧洲栗(Castanea sativa)是一种外交树种,自花授粉会降低同性个体的坐果率,原因是晚期自交不亲和和早期近交抑制。这种负面的性相互作用能否解释该物种中雌性个体的存在?我们研究了欧洲栗野生种群的性别差异。此外,我们还比较了两性间的坐果率(开花结果的比例)和其他关键的雌性适应性成分以及生殖分配。然后,我们在同性树上进行了去雄实验,方法是摘除分泌花蜜的可育雄性花序。作为对照,我们还摘除了雌树上不育但能分泌花蜜的雄花序:结果:我们发现欧洲栗野生雄性不育个体的比例变化很大。在实验地块中,每种性别的树木都有相似的大小、花密度和毛刺,但坐果率却不同。从树枝或整棵树上摘除分泌花蜜的雄花序能提高同性树的坐果率,但不能提高雌树的坐果率:这些结果表明,自花授粉会影响同性树的坐果率。雌树避免了这些问题,因为它们不产生花粉,但由于其雄性无性花序的奖励作用,继续吸引授粉者,从而使坐果率比同性树高得多。这表明,即使是外交植物也能从停止自花授粉中获益,甚至可以进化出单性植物。

To survive, female plants must compensate for their lack of siring capacity and male attractiveness. In European chestnut (<i>Castanea sativa</i>), an outcrossing tree, self-pollination reduces fruit set in cosexual individuals because of late-acting self-incompatibility and early inbreeding depression.
