Recombination and selection at Brassica self-incompatibility loci.
Genetics - 1 May 1999
Awadalla P, Charlesworth D
Abstract excerpt
In Brassica species, self-incompatibility is controlled genetically by haplotypes involving two known genes, SLG and SRK, and possibly an as yet unknown gene controlling pollen incompatibility types. Alleles at the incompatibility loci are maintained by frequency-dependent selection, and diversity at SLG and SRK appears to be very ancient, with high diversity at silent and replacement sites, particularly in...
