sex lability - Opis:
- Bisexualism (and its derivatives) is a rare exception in species which already acquired the dioecious breeding system. Although it occurs in some tree species, it is still rather uncommon, except for willows, in which bisexualism occurs in at least 18 species. In most willows such unusual individuals are subdioecious, hermaphroditic or monoecious, or produce intersexes (staminate flowers transform into pistillate flowers or the other way round). The frequency of non-dioecy can vary from a single individual to whole populations, but is in principle rare. Its possible causes are both environmental and genetic. In Salix sex lability is known to be affected by parasites and anthropogenic habitat change. In interspecific willow crosses there are numerous exceptions from dioecy that are mostly caused by polyploidization. Since sex determination in willows is genetic, environmental factors are expected to determine exclusively phenotypic sex traits.
