WHY SELF-FERTILIZING PLANTS STILL EXIST IN WILD POPULATIONS: DIVERSITY ASSURANCE THROUGH STRESS-INDUCED MALE STERILITY MAY PROMOTE SELECTIVE OUTCROSSING AND RECOMBINATION

Climate change creates challenges for wild species, but plants have survived and adapted to similar changes in their evolutionary past.Most plants were originally outcrossing, one theoretical genetic reason being that self-fertilization does not create novel recombinants that allow adaptation.Thus selfing seems an evolutionary “dead end”

Background: The human-opossum (Didelphis marsupialis) conflict has increased during the last decades mainly due to natural habitat loss, and mediated by generalist and opportunistic habits of opossums.A potential solution to reduce this conflict is to discourage the presence of opossums in human settlements without affecting the welfare of either p
