Can resin extraction have an effect on the reproductive biology in burseraceae species?: A global analysis by Itzel Abad-Fitz, Alejandra Vázquez-Lobo, José Blancas, Alejandro Casas, José Antonio Sierra-Huelsz, Cristina Martínez-Garza, Raúl E. Alcalá, Leonardo Beltrán-Rodríguez

“…We identified that dioecy is the most frequent mating system in Burseraceae plants, and the extraction of exudates negatively affects the reproductive success of the species utilized, since it is related to a decrease in the number of flowers, fruits, and seeds, as well as in the percentage of viability and seed germination. …”

Elaborated pollen packaging and dispensing mechanism induced by petal architecture from a Papaveraceae species by Shanlin Yang, Guangming Chu, Xiang Shi, Shaoming Wang

“…Hypecoum erectum L. has a mixed mating system with selfing and outcrossing. Thus, the SPP mechanism plays a key role during the pollination process and is necessary for improving pollination efficiency and promoting reproductive success.…”

The role of inbreeding and outbreeding in herbivore resistance and tolerance in Vincetoxicum hirundinaria. by Muola, A, Mutikainen, P, Laukkanen, L, Lilley, M, Leimu, R

“…The results further suggest that herbivory may contribute to the maintenance of a mixed mating system of the host plants by selecting for outcrossing and reduced susceptibility to herbivore attack, and thus add to the growing body of evidence on the effects of inbreeding on the mating system evolution of the host plants and the dynamics of plant-herbivore interactions.…”

The rare oak polypore Piptoporus quercinus: population structure, spore germination and growth by Crockatt, ME, Campbell, A, Allum, L, Ainsworth, AM, Boddy, L

“…Germination of chlamydospores and basidiospores was investigated under a range of conditions (temperature, pH, different media). The mating system was ascertained by pairing single spore derived isolates, and somatic compatibility investigated by pairing fruit body isolates. …”
