TY - JOUR AU - Çetinbaş, Aslıhan AU - Ünal, Meral PY - 2014/09/04 Y2 - 2025/09/23 TI - An Overview of Dichogamy in Angiosperms JF - Research in Plant Biology JA - RIPB VL - 4 IS - 5 SE - Mini Reviews DO - UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/ripb/article/view/2629 SP - AB - <p><strong>Dichogamy refers to maturation of sex organs in plants at different times. It has been monitored in plants for over 250 years. It is not a simple process and has many aspects. It is widespread in angiosperms and mainly divided in two main types; proterandry and proterogyny. In degree it may be partial (incomplete) or complete. Dichogamy may be intrafloral or interfloral. In former, it is expressed within a flower, in latter, it exists among flowers in diclinous species. It can be interpreted as a floral mechanism favouring cross-pollination. Proterandry and proterogyny are safeguards against self-pollination. In this review, we discussed patterns of occurrence and importance of dichogamy in the light of previous studies.</strong></p> ER -
