Abstract
Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) is a troublesome weed in row crop production in the United States. Herbicide resistance is a growing concern in this species, with resistance to ACCase-, ALS-, and EPSPS-inhibitors already reported. Pollen-mediated gene flow (PMGF) is capable of spreading herbicide resistance, but the extent of PMGF has not yet been studied in johnsongrass. Field experiments were conducted in a Nelder-wheel design to quantify the distance and frequency of PMGF from ALS-inhibitor-resistant (AR) to -susceptible (AS) johnsongrass across three environments (summer 2018, fall 2018, and fall 2019). The AR biotype (pollen donor) was established at the center of the wheel (5-m diameter), and a naturally occurring johnsongrass (AS) infestation was utilized as the pollen recipient, in eight directions and at nine distances (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 45, and 50 m) within each direction. Seeds collected from the AS plants in each distance and direction were screened for survival to the ALS-inhibitor herbicide nicosulfuron (Accent Q) at 95 g ai ha−1 under greenhouse conditions. The survivors (i.e. hybrids) were further confirmed based on the presence of the Trp574Leu mutation. At the closest distance of 5 m, PMGF was 9.6–16.2% across the directions and environments, which progressively declined to 0.8–1.2% at 50 m. The exponential decay model predicted 50% reduction in PMGF at 2.2 m and 90% reduction at 5.8 m from the pollen donor block. Results demonstrate that herbicide resistance can spread between adjacent field populations of johnsongrass through PMGF, which necessitates sound monitoring and management.

Abstract
It has often been suggested that selection on floral traits in hermaphroditic plants should occur primarily through differences in male fitness. However, measurements of selection on floral traits through differences in lifetime male fitness have been lacking. We measured selection on a variety of wild radish floral traits using lifetime male fitness measures derived from genetic paternity analysis. These male fitness estimates were then combined with estimates of lifetime female fitness of the same plants to produce measurements of selection based on lifetime total fitness. Contrary to the prediction above, there was no strong evidence for selection on floral morphology through male fitness differences in any of the three years of the study, but there was strong selection for increased flower size through female fitness differences in one year. The main determinant of both male and female fitness in all years was flower number; this lead to moderately positive correlations between male and female fitness in all three years.

Abstract
The orchid Prasophyllum fimbria is pollinated by nectar-feeding native bees and wasps. The pollinia are patially separated from the viscidium by a stipe so that pollinia can be labelled with coloured histochemical stains without interfering with pollinarium removal. Pollen flow was monitored by following the movement of the coloured pollen in several populations of P. fimbria in Western Australia. Statistical analysis confirmed that pollen labelling did not interfere with pollinarium removal or subsequent pollination of the labelled flower. Fifty eight labelled pollinaria were removed by vectors from 16 test spikes, with a total of 125 flowers on 47 spikes receiving labelled pollen. An average of 2 flowers received pollen for every pollinium removed but up to 6 flowers received pollen from a single collinium. No significant differences between mean vector flights and pollen flow distances were detected. On average, geitonogamous transfers only accounted for 22% of all pollinations. This is a simple and inexpensive technique for the direct labelling of pollen with minimal disruption to the pollination system and may have applications in other plant families.

Abstract
From 2000-2003 a range of Farm Scale Evaluation (FSE) trials were established in the UK to assess the effect of the release and management of herbicide tolerant (HT) crops on the abundance and diversity of farmland wildlife compared with their conventionally managed non-GM-equivalents. The objective of this research project was to investigate gene flow within the winter (WOSR) and spring oilseed rape (SOSR) FSE trials and to develop a statistical model for the prediction of cross-pollination frequency that can be used to evaluate current separation distance guidelines. Seed samples were collected from the non-GM half of the trial sites and were tested for evidence of cross-pollination from the GM HT halves using a quantitative PCR assay specific to the HT (bar) gene. Rates of cross-pollination were found to decrease rapidly with increasing distance from the GM source. The quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis and a two-step model was found to provide the best fit for the data. Significant differences were found between the results for WOSR, SOSR and varietal association (VA) crops. The model predicted that the %GM content (including upper 95% confidence limits) of a sample taken at a distance of 50 m away from the GM source would be 0.04% (0.84%) for WOSR, 0.02% (0.39%) for SOSR, 0.77% (21.72%) for WOSR VA and 0.37% (5.18%) for SOSR VA. The data and models presented here are discussed in the context of necessary separation distances to meet various possible thresholds for adventitious presence of GM in OSR.

Abstract
Pollen dispersal and gene flow in the grass meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) were studied using two populations which were homozygous for different allozymes at the Gpi-2 locus. The populations were established in a concentric donor-acceptor field experiment. Gene flow was found mainly to be affected by the distance between the donor and acceptor plants. Analysing 21 132 acceptor plant progenies, gene flow was shown to decrease rapidly with distance to the donor field up to 75 m, and beyond this distance much more slowly. The ability of donor pollen to fertilize acceptor plants depended very much on the density of the acceptor plants. Pairs of acceptor plants produced more compatible pollen locally, and captured significantly less donor pollen than single-plants. Despite the higher seed production of acceptor plants planted in pairs, the absolute number of heterozygous seeds carrying the donor allele was always lower than for single-plants. Wind direction had only a slight effect upon the type of pollen captured. Because of pollen production within the two plant populations being continuous and overlapping, the time when anthesis occurred had little effect on gene flow between the populations. Vigorous and tall acceptor plants with many panicles, high seed yield and high 1000-seed weight were able to capture more donor pollen than shorter plants. The results may be used to assess the risk of gene flow and to develop strategies for monitoring the spread of transgenes from genetically modified grasses.

Abstract
We examined the effects of varying pollination distances on seed production and its components in three populations of the perennial lily Amianthium muscaetoxicum. We performed hand pollinations using pollen from near neighbors and from plants separated by 5, 15, and 60 meters. Pollination by near neighbors reduced fruit set and the numbers of seeds per fruit in comparison to other treatments in two of the three populations; variation in pollination distance beyond near-neighbor pollination produced no effect. In the third population, in which nearneighbor pollination did not affect seed production, nearneighbor pollination reduced seed weight by 11%, compared to other pollination distances. Seed weights from the 5-, 15-, and 60-m pollination treatments did not differ, and pollination distance did not affect seed weight in the other two populations. The effects of pollination-distance treatments explained a very small proportion of the variance in seed production and seed weight. Heterogeneity among individual plants, despite full hand pollination of every plant, accounted for much more variance (by one to two orders of magnitude) than variation in pollination distance.

Abstract
There has recently been a burgeoning interest in the analysis of paternity patterns for natural populations because of its relevance to population genetic phenomena such as the distance between successful mates, relative male reproductive success and gene flow. In this paper we develop a method of analyzing populational patterns of paternity, the fractional paternity method, and compare its performance to two other commonly used methods of paternity analysis (simple exclusion and the most-likely methods). We show that the fractional method is the most accurate method for determining populational patterns of paternity because it assigns paternity to all progeny examined, and because it avoids biases inherent in the other paternity analysis methods when model assumptions are met. In particular, it avoids a systematic bias of the most-likely paternity assignment method, which has a tendency to over-assign paternity of progeny to certain male parents with a greater than average number of homozygous marker loci. We also demonstrate the effect of linkage of some of the marker loci on paternity assignment, showing how the knowledge of the linkage phase of male and female parents in the population can significantly improve the accuracy of the estimates of populational patterns of paternity. Knowledge of the linkage phase of individuals in a population is usually unknown and difficult to assess without progeny testing, which involves considerable labor. However, we show how the linkage phase of hermaphroditic individuals in a population can be obtained in conjunction with the paternity analysis if progeny can be obtained from each hermaphroditic individual in the population, thereby avoiding the problem of traditional progeny testing. Applications of the fractional paternity approach developed herein should contribute significantly to our understanding of the mating patterns in, and hence the evolution of, natural populations.

Abstract
Seeds from polycrosses with Norway spruce, in which the same sixteen male parents were crossed to a number of female parents in each of two years, were analysed electrophoretically to detect departures from male gamete frequencies expected assuming equal male fertilities, and to detect heterogeneity among female parents in male gamete frequencies in seeds. The data were also used to estimate the fertilities of the polycross trees used as male parents. Significant departures from male gamete frequencies expected assuming equal male fertilities were found in the seed pooled from all crosses. Male fertilities estimated from male gamete frequencies in seed from all crosses also departed significantly from expectation. The results are discussed with respect to assumptions made when estimating general combining abilities and expected response to selection in polycrosses.

Abstract
Allele frequency variation is described at nine polymorphic enzyme loci in 21 samples from populations of the introduced Giant Toad, Bufo marinus, in the region of Townsville in north Queensland, Australia. Some of these populations appear to have been established through the introgression of other populations that previously had been isolated. Comparisons of allele frequencies at three polymorphic loci between the introgressed populations and the original populations are used to obtain admixture estimates. These are used to estimate a rate of gene flow among the populations of approximately 2 km/year. This is consistent with an estimate based on the rate at which Bufo marinus has colonised new areas in Australia when discontinuities in the pattern of this colonisation are taken into account. The estimate of gene flow is combined with published data on population density to estimate neighbourhood size. The estimate obtained is substantially greater than the effective population size estimate determined previously from data on allele frequency variances in other populations. This discrepancy is most likely due to inaccuracies in the population density estimates, to underestimates of the extent of offspring number variance and perhaps to occasional departures from sex ratio parity. It has important implications for the study of the genetic structure of populations which are discussed.

Abstract
Natural populations are currently the basic material for studying forest tree breeding, but little is known on the genotypic spatial structures in these stands. The use of gene markers, such as isozymes, leads to the determination of part of the allelic constitution of individuals. A method is presented here to estimate the degree of genetic relationship between any pair of genotypes. A French Picea abies population is analyzed by these means and a slight but significant correlation between estimated genetic relationship and topographic distance is found.
