Abstract excerpt
The evolution of selfing from outcrossing is a common transition, yet little is known about the mutations and selective factors that promote this shift. In the mustard family, single-locus self-incompatibility (SI) enforces outcrossing. In this study, we test whether mutations causing self-compatibility (SC) are linked to the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) in Leavenworthia alabamica, a species where two...
