where we investigated this question in the context of plant self-incompatibility.

The "selfing syndrome" explained:
'Self-incompatibility' is a mechanism that prevents self-fertilization in plants, in order to maintain genetic diversity in the population. Self-incompatibility can be broken via various mutations, making the plant capable of self-fertilization, 'self-compatible'.

Hi there, blue-sky buddies, I'm excited to write my first post here!
