Abstract excerpt
Flowering plants display extensive variation in selfing rate, a trait with significant ecological and evolutionary consequences. Many species use genetic mechanisms to recognize and reject self-pollen (termed self-incompatibility or SI), and the loss of SI is one of the most common evolutionary transitions among flowering plants. Despite the ubiquity of transitions to self-compatibility (SC), little is known...
