Male sterility in triploid dandelions: asexual females vs asexual hermaphrodites

Article Abstract:

The wide spread production of pollen by triploid asexual dandelions, Taraxacum sect is studied by comparing rare male sterile individuals with pollen producing asexuals. Individuals are found to show plasticity in the production in the production of pollen, but it is nevertheless possible to distinguish between male sterile asexuals and male fertile asexuals.

The role of tetraploids in the sexual-asexual cycle in dandelions (Taraxacum)

Article Abstract:

In dandelions, Taraxacum, a sexual-asexual cycle between diploid sexuals and triploid apomicts, is described. Diploids are strict sexuals, triploids are obligate apomicts, but tetraploids are most often only partly apomictic, lacking certain elements of apomixis.
