The Global Plant Council<p>Genetics of Alternating Sexes in Walnuts </p><p>Scientists have uncovered a genetic mechanism in walnuts and their ancestors that has remained stable for 40 million years. Male-first or female-first flowering, balanced by a single genetic locus, parallels sex determination in animals. This evolutionary trait ensures genetic diversity, with distinct pathways evolving independently in walnuts and pecans. </p><p><a href="https://globalplantcouncil.org/genetics-of-alternating-sexes-in-walnuts/#PlantScience" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">globalplantcouncil.org/genetic</span><span class="invisible">s-of-alternating-sexes-in-walnuts/#PlantScience</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plantsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plantsci</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Palnts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palnts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/walnuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walnuts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlantGenetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlantGenetics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlantReproduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlantReproduction</span></a></p>

Planetary Ecologist<p>Distyly (Evolution 🧬)</p><p>Distyly is a type of heterostyly in which a plant demonstrates reciprocal herkogamy. This breeding system is characterized by two separate flower morphs, where individual plants produce flowers that either have long styles and short stamens, or that have short styles and long stamens. However, distyly can refer to any plant that shows some degree of sel...</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distyly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distyly</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Distyly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Distyly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genetics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evolution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollination</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlantMorphology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlantMorphology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PlantReproduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlantReproduction</span></a></p>
