Abstract excerpt
Evolution of selfing is common in plant populations, but the genetic basis of selfing rate evolution remains unclear. Although the effects of genetic properties on fixation for mating-unrelated alleles have been investigated, loci that modify the selfing rate (selfing modifiers) differ from mating-unrelated loci in several aspects. Using population genetic models, I investigate the genetic basis of selfing rate...
