Examples
“Traditional thinking has suggested that selfing populations are able to purge many of these mutations, but this study found that the ability to sufficiently purge was overwhelmed by slight increases in mutation rates," the researchers said.”
“Put another way, when I am emptied of my usual self or when that self-making or selfing process is “relocated” to the periphery of my being, I truly have room for an intimate relationship with God, which paradoxically allows me to be even more myself.”
“Nevertheless, selfing mediated via geitonogamy is the most frequent mechanism of pollen transfer.”
“A short paper of mine on the mating as well as selfing reproduction without mating of Rumina saharica was published in the Zoology in the Middle East near the end of last year.”
“In the absence of predators, selfing snails start to reproduce several days after the snails with mates do.”
“Self-pollination, or selfing, confers a major advantage to weedy species.”
“In their Science Express study, published online July 26, the researchers used the genome-wide pattern of LD to estimate the time at which selfing evolved.”
“A selfing plant can invade new territory by itself and colonize it alone.”
“Specifically, the researchers expected to find a relatively high level of LD, because after the transition to selfing the disruption of variant combinations would have slowed dramatically.”
“Since cross pollination mixes two plants’ genomes and disrupts some combinations of variants, a recent transition to selfing should have left a footprint in the LD pattern for A. thaliana.”
