Trioecy

Last updated

Trioecy is a sexual system characterized by the coexistence of males, females, and hermaphrodites. It has been found in both plants and animals. [1] [2] Like androdioecy and gynodioecy, trioecy is a mixed mating systems. [3]

Terminology

Trioecy is also called tridioecy and subdioecy. [4]

The term trioecy comes from the Neo-Latin word Trioecia , a former order of trioecious plants. [5]

Evolution of trioecy

Trioecy may be an unstable transient state [6] associated with evolutionary transitioning from gynodioecy to dioecy. [7] [6] In brachiopod species, trioecy usually breaks into androdioecy or gynodioecy. [8] Other studies show that trioecious populations originated from gonochoristic ancestors which were invaded by a mutant selfing hermaphrodite, creating a trioecious population. [1] It has been suggested that chromosomal duplication plays an important part in the evolution of trioecy. [9]

But one study found that trioecy can be stable under nucleocytoplasmic sex determination. [10] Another theoretical analysis indicates that trioecy could be evolutionary stable in plant species if a large amount of pollinators vary geographically. [11]

Occurrence

Trioecy is a relatively common sexual system in plants, [12] estimated to occur in about 3.6% of flowering plant species, [10] although most reports of trioecy could be misinterpretations of gynodioecy. [13] It is rare as well as poorly understood in animals. [12]
