ABSTRACT. Experiments with several clones of Diplosoma ljsten'anum (Mllne Edwards) maintained in culture indicated that the majority produced sexual progeny (larvae) predominantly or exclusively by cross-rather than self-fertilization. The extent of true selfing, if any, was not established. Arrested oocyte development was observed in several clones kept in reproductive isolation. Full oocyte development could b e triggered in these by placing other genetic individuals in the same container, even though the different clones were not in phys~cal contact
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
