Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Both thrum and pin plants were partially male sterile with androecium abnormalities.
- Observation Male sterility was infrequent in both floral morphs.
- Observation Loss of male function was not compensated by resource reallocation.
- Observation The authors expect distyly to remain evolutionarily stable in E. suberosum under these circumstances.
