| In this study, I use floral manipulations in conjunction with marker gene analysis to estimate the relative contributions of autogamy and geitonogamy to self fertilization. |
| Has this method, which is spoken of as geitonogamy, the same influence as crossing with pollen from another plant? |
| Both species use a mixed breeding system, consisting of xenogamy, geitonogamy, and autogamy. |
| Nonetheless, self-crossing is common, but in the form of geitonogamy. |
| Protogyny may also reduce geitonogamy if the flowers on an inflorescence develop so that all open flowers are in either male or female phase at any given time. |
| However, the form of dichogamy is likely to have different consequences for autogamy versus geitonogamy. |
