摘要
雌花两性花同株是植物个体上同时有雌花和两性花的性系统。与其他性系统相比,雌花两性花同株一直较少受到关注。尽管只有约3%的被子植物是雌花两性花同株的物种,但其分布广泛,具有多种多样的花部特征和传粉模式。解释雌花两性花同株物种的适应意义已有多种假说,包括促进异交、避免雌雄干扰、优化资源配置、昆虫的植食作用以及增大对传粉者的吸引力等,但证据不多,并且研究对象主要集中在菊科Asteraceae。进一步对不同类群、不同传粉模式的雌花两性花同株的物种进行繁殖生物学研究,并结合系统发育的比较研究,有助于深入理解这一性系统的起源与进化。
Gynomonoecy is the sexual system in which individual plants have both female and hermaphrodite flowers. Compared to the other sexual systems, the adaptation and diversification of this system have been largely underappreciated. Gynomonoecious species have a diversity of floral traits and pollination systems despite that they account for only about 3% of the total species. Several hypotheses assume that the adaptive advantages of maintenance of gynomonoecy may enhance outcrossing, avoid pollen-pistil interference, permit flexible resource allocation of paternal and maternal functions, defense herbivores and increase the attractiveness to pollinators. However, the studied species were mainly restricted to the Asteraceae and a few empirical studies available rarely supported these hypotheses. Further studies are needed regarding the reproductive biology of gynomonoecious species in different groups and on different pollination systems. Such studies, together with phylogenetic studies on the groups concerned, will help us have a better understanding of the origin and evolution of gynomonoecy.
