Balancing selection in the wild: testing population genetics theory of self-incompatibility in the rare species Brassica insularis.

Abstract excerpt

Self-incompatibility (SI) systems are widespread mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization in angiosperms. They are generally encoded by one genome region containing several multiallelic genes, usually called the S-locus. They involve a recognition step between the pollen and the pistil component and pollen is rejected when it shares alleles with the pistil. The direct consequence is that rare alleles are...
