Breakdown of self-incompatibility due to genetic interaction between a specific S-allele and an unlinked modifier.

Abstract excerpt

Breakdown of self-incompatibility has frequently been attributed to loss-of-function mutations of alleles at the locus responsible for recognition of self-pollen (i.e. the S-locus). However, other potential causes have rarely been tested. Here, we show that self-compatibility of S1S1-homozygotes in selfing populations of the otherwise self-incompatible Arabidopsis lyrata is not due to S-locus mutation....
