Abstract excerpt
A stochastic computer simulation model was created to compare the combined effects of selection and genetic drift on the dynamics of S-alleles under full sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI) versus transient SI, a form of partial SI in which flowers become self-compatible as they age. S-alleles were lost more rapidly with transient than with full SI, as is expected with weakened frequency-dependent selection....
