| This study examined nonrandom reproductive success in an endangered evening primrose, Oenothera organensis, using an experimental protocol designed to detect nonrandom genetic transmission in all reproductive stages: pollination, fertilization, and seed maturation. Pollination success was monitored in both the native population in New Mexico and experimental arrays of potted plants using fluorescent dye, a pollen analog. Fertilization and seed maturation success was determined by comparing reproductive success in plants transformed with the GUS (... |
