| Abstract | Conspicuous asymmetries in forms that are polymorphic within a species can be genetically or environmentally determined. Here, we present a genetic analysis of the inheritance of dimorphic enantiostyly, a sexual polymorphism in which all flowers on a plant have styles that are consistently deflected either to the left or the right side of the floral axis. Using Heteranthera multiflora (Pontederiaceae), a short-lived herb, we conducted crosses within and between left- and right-styled plants and scored progeny ratios of the style morphs in F(1), F(2) and F(3) generations. Crosses conducted in the parental generation between morphs or right-styled plants resulted in right-styled progeny, whereas crosses between left-styled plants resulted in left-styled progeny. When putative heterozygous F(1) plants were selfed, the resulting F(2) segregation ratios were not significantly different from a 3 : 1 ratio for right- and left-styled plants. Crosses between left- and right-styled plants in the F(2) generation yielded F(3) progeny with either a 1 : 1 ratio of left- and right-styled plants or right-styled progeny. Our results are consistent with a model in which a single Mendelian locus with two alleles, with the right-styled allele (R) dominant to the left-styled allele (r), governs stylar deflection. The simple inheritance of dimorphic enantiostyly has implications for the evolution and maintenance of this unusual sexual polymorphism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
