Coevolution of self-fertilization and inbreeding depression. I. Mutation-selection balance at one and two loci.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 1991

Uyenoyama M K, Waller D M

Abstract excerpt

Simple theories for the evolution of breeding systems suggest that the fate of an allele that modifies the rate of self-fertilization hinges only on the degree to which selfing reduces opportunities for outcrossing ("pollen discounting") and the extent of inbreeding depression. These theories pre...
