Resumen

Studies on the reproductive strategies of plants are important as they allow us to understand the life cycles of various plant species and provide clues regarding the processes of their macroevolution1,2. Thus, it is necessary to understand the causes for the functionality of different mating systems in plants, even in closely related species, for example, several species within Fabaceae3, which have been poorly studied in terms of their reproductive biology4,5 and taxonomic relationships6.
