Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Conspicuous asymmetries in forms that are polymorphic within a species can be genetically or environmentally determined. Here, we present a genetic analysis of the inheritance of dimorphic enantiostyly, a sexual polymorphism in which all flowers on a plant have styles that are consistently deflected either to the left or the right side of the floral axis. Using Heteranthera multiflora (Pontederiaceae), a short-lived herb, we conducted crosses within and between left- and right-styled plants and scored progeny ratios of the style morphs in F(1), F(2) and F(3) generations. Crosses conducted in the parental generation between morphs or right-styled plants resulted in right-styled progeny, whereas crosses between left-styled plants resulted in left-styled progeny. When putative heterozygous F(1) plants were selfed, the resulting F(2) segregation ratios were not significantly different from a 3 : 1 ratio for right- and left-styled plants. Crosses between left- and right-styled plants in the F(2) generation yielded F(3) progeny with either a 1 : 1 ratio of left- and right-styled plants or right-styled progeny. Our results are consistent with a model in which a single Mendelian locus with two alleles, with the right-styled allele (R) dominant to the left-styled allele (r), governs stylar deflection. The simple inheritance of dimorphic enantiostyly has implications for the evolution and maintenance of this unusual sexual polymorphism.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
