Distyly (Evolution 🧬)

Distyly is a breeding system in plants that is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that have either long styles and short stamens or short styles and long stamens. However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of self-incompatibility and has two morphs if at least one of the following cha...

Distyly (Evolution 🧬)

Distyly is a type of heterostyly in which a plant demonstrates reciprocal herkogamy. This breeding system is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that either have long styles and short stamens, or that have short styles and long stamens. However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of sel...

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
