- Abstract
Paternity analysis, carried out on 13 microsatellite loci, was used to investigate pollen dispersal and mating patterns in an invasive population of Solanum rostratum in China. We determined a high outcrossing rate (0.81 ± 0.02) and found that all 174 offspring for which the father could be identified were outcross progeny. The mean pollen dispersal distance was 13.66 m (range 0.41-71.67 m); however, 59.2% of effective pollination events occurred at <10 m. Our results indicate substantial near-neighbor pollen dispersal and imply that successful invasion of S. rostratum is facilitated by a high level of pollen flow within the population.
