Stability of self-incompatibility systems

Abstract:
Multi-locus self-incompatibility systems offer few obvious adaptive advantages to the species possessing them. However, the gametophytic system's independent gene action allows the separate genes in a two gene system to behave as if they were individually not involved in a systematic disruption of panmixia. Under such circumstances, fixation of one of the two genes is readily obtained if an allele possesses a selective advantage. The resulting single gene system (the classic Nicotiana system) is then resistant to disruption, except by genes which allow selfing, which rapidly reach fixation.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
