We invite you to listen to Dr. Mariola Rabska’s lecture entitled “The role of sex in plants in a changing environment.”
Of the various systems of sexual reproduction in plants, hermaphroditism, monoecy and dioecy are the most common. The latter system gives researchers the opportunity to see what consequences result from plants fulfilling the male role versus the female role. The environment, as well as the changing climate, can affect the different sexes in different ways, and species with diverse reproductive systems are affected differently.
