Abstract excerpt
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic barrier to inbreeding that is broadly distributed in angiosperms. In finite populations of SI plants, the loss of S-allele diversity can limit plant reproduction by reducing the availability of compatible mates. Many studies have shown that small or fragmented plant populations suffer from mate limitation. The advent of molecular typing of S-alleles in many species has paved...
