Cover Story: Solanum orbiculatum ssp. orbiculatum is an edible bush tomato endemic to Australia. Plants of this species are potentially self-compatible but are unable to carry out spontaneous autogamy. The flowers are protogynous with a floral structure and morphology that can encourage cross pollination as the stigma is exserted above the anther’s tips. This study will contribute to understanding the evolution and systematic relationships of species. Furthermore, understanding the reproductive biology of this species is also of interest for cultivated tomato breeding. View this paper
