Abstract: Balancing selection has been inferred in diverse organisms for nonself recognition genes, including those involved in immunity, mating compatibility, and vegetative incompatibility. Although selective forces maintaining polymorphisms are known for genes involved in immunity and… read more here.

Abstract: Self-incompatibility (SI) in plants has evolved independently multiple times and S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) is most common. The Rosaceae family possesses both self-recognition (Prunus) and nonself-recognition (Malus) GSI systems, and the latter is widespread in… read more here.
