Abstract excerpt
Previous models have attempted to explain the origin of new self-incompatibilities, whereas the model presented here explains the origin of new nonself-incompatibilities. Natural selection favors mutational changes to S-RNases that create nonself-incompatibilities with self-compatible (SC) haplotypes. By this means, an self-incompatible (SI) haplotype with a new S-RNase can avoid the costs of inbreeding imposed...
