About this document
J of Evolutionary Biology - 2001 - Sarkissian - Direct and Indirect Responses To Selection On Pollen Size in Brassica Rapa by airaniaqua is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the genetic responses of pollen size in Brassica rapa to artificial selection over three generations, revealing significant heritable variation and correlated responses in other floral traits. The findings suggest that pollen size evolution is influenced by genetic correlations with traits such as pollen number and flower size, indicating that pollen size cannot evolve independently. This research highlights the potential for natural selection to effect evolutionary changes in pollen
