A Foundational Population Genetics Investigation of the Sexual Systems of <i>Solanum</i> (Solanaceae) in the Australian Monsoon Tropics Suggests Dioecious Taxa May Benefit from Increased Genetic Admixture via Obligate Outcrossing

A Foundational Population Genetics Investigation of the Sexual Systems of <i>Solanum</i> (Solanaceae) in the Australian Monsoon Tropics Suggests Dioecious Taxa May Benefit from Increased Genetic Admixture via Obligate Outcrossing

<i>Solanum</i> section <i>Leptostemonum</i> is an ideal lineage to test the theoretical framework regarding proposed evolutionary benefits of outcrossing sexual systems in comparison to cosexuality. Theoretically, non-cosexual taxa should support more genetic diversity within...
