Abstract
Determines the effects of self-fertilization on the growth and survivorship of Phlox drummondii. The plants analyzed resulted from two generations of self-fertilization. There was a small but statistically insignificant increase in the survivorship of self seed after two generations. This indicates that there are likely multiple genes contributing to responses to self-fertilization.Suggested Citation
