Now there are six cases of independently evolved distyly supergene that are hemizygous in thrums, in contrast to the classical genetic model for distyly.

Check out this cool new study on distylous Nymphoides indica in New Phytologist: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.19264

Complex cross incompatibility in morning glories is consistent with a role for mating system in plant speciation

Abstract. Reproductive isolation between selfing and outcrossing species can arise through diverse mechanisms, some of which are directly associated with differ
