Evolution of apetaly in the cosmopolitan genus Stellaria
Article
  • May 2021
Premise: Apetaly is widespread across distantly related lineages of flowering plants and is associated with abiotic (or self-) pollination. It is particularly prevalent in the carnation family, and the cosmopolitan genus Stellaria contains many lineages that are hypothesized to have lost petals from showy petalous ancestors. But the pollination bi...
