百脉根的每一花序通常约有一半的未成熟果实败育。与随机模式的果实败育相比，自然模式的果实败育产生含有显著更多种子的成熟果实。此外，这些后代更容易发芽，作为幼苗更有活力，并且作为成年人具有更大的生殖输出。这些结果表明，L.小角果选择性地使那些种子最少的果实败育，并通过这样做来提高其后代的平均质量。
Each inflorescence on Lotus corniculatus commonly aborts about half of its immature fruits. Compared to random patterns of fruit abortion, natural patterns of fruit abortion produce mature fruits that contain significantly more seeds. Moreover, these progeny are more likely to germinate, are more vigorous as seedlings, and have greater reproductive output as adults. These results indicate that L. corniculatus selectively aborts those fruits with the fewest seeds and, by doing so, increases the average quality of its offspring.
