There has been an enormous increase in the amount of data on DNA sequence
polymorphism available for many organisms in the last decade. New sequencing …

Levels of genetic diversity in finite populations are crucial in conservation and evolutionary
biology. Genetic diversity is required for populations to evolve and its loss is related to …

Flowering plants often prevent selfing through mechanisms of self-incompatibility (SI). The
loss of SI has occurred many times independently, because it provides short-term …

Recently diverged species typically have incomplete reproductive barriers, allowing
introgression of genetic material from one species into the genomic background of the other …

Ever since Darwin proposed natural selection as the driving force for the origin of species,
the role of adaptive processes in speciation has remained controversial. In particular, a …

Self-incompatibility has been considered by geneticists a model system for reproductive
biology and balancing selection, but our understanding of the genetic basis and evolution of …

Evolutionary transitions between mating systems have occurred repetitively and
independently in flowering plants. One of the most spectacular advances of the recent …

Self‐incompatibility (SI) is a self‐recognition genetic system enforcing outcrossing in
hermaphroditic flowering plants and results in one of the arguably best understood forms of …

This study sought to determine the main genomic regions that control zinc (Zn)
hyperaccumulation in Arabidopsis halleri and to examine genotype× environment effects on …

The S locus, a single polymorphic locus, is responsible for self-incompatibility (SI) in the
Brassicaceae family and many related plant families. Despite its importance, our knowledge …
