- Abstract:
- I propose an in depth study of a particularly interesting genome region, the region containing the Arabidopsis lyrata pistil and pollen incompatibility genes (SRK and SCR), which are both co-adapted and have extraordinarily high polymorphism. Sequences of both genes will be obtained from a sample of plants collected from a natural population in Iceland, together with analysis of hand-pollination data to determine the plants' incompatibility groups. The results will test co-segregation of SRK sequences and incompatibility alleles, and will provide samples of alleles large enough for testing for linkage disequilibrium between the pistil and pollen incompatibility loci, and to test for recombination and balancing selection.
