Reproductive differentiation into sexual and apomictic polyploid cytotypes in…

† Background and Aims: Intraspecific reproductive differentiation into sexual and apomictic cytotypes of differing ploidy is a common phenomenon. However, mechanisms enabling the maintenance of both reproductive modes and integrity of cytotypes in sympatry are as yet poorly understood. This study examined the association of sexual and apomictic seed formation with ploidy aswell as gene flowt…
