• Resumen

  • Many groups of annual plants in the Mediterranean basin are characterized by self-pollination. It is suggested that the breeding system operating in these plants affected considerably their mode of speciation. It is argued that the reproductive isolation barrier caused by selfing frequently initated sympatric speciation in these autogamous plants - a mode of speciation that cross-pollinated plants rarely achieve.
