Effects of recombination on hitchhiking diversity in the Brassica self-incompatibility locus complex.
In self-incompatibility, a number of S haplotypes are maintained by frequency-dependent selection, which results in trans-specific S haplotypes. The region of several kilobases (approximately 40-60 kb) from SP6 to SP2, including self-incompatibility-related genes and some adjacent genes in Brassica rapa, has high nucleotide diversity due to the hitchhiking effect, and therefore we call this reg...
متن کاملBalancing Selection and Low Recombination Affect Diversity near the Self-Incompatibility Loci of the Plant Arabidopsis lyrata
The self-incompatibility (S-) locus region of plants in the Brassica family is a small genome region. In Arabidopsis lyrata, the S-genes, SRK and SCR, encode the functional female and pollen recognition proteins, which must be coadapted to maintain correct associations between the two component genes, and thus self-incompatibility (SI). Recombinants would be self-compatible and thus probably di...
متن کاملRecombination and selection at Brassica self-incompatibility loci.
In Brassica species, self-incompatibility is controlled genetically by haplotypes involving two known genes, SLG and SRK, and possibly an as yet unknown gene controlling pollen incompatibility types. Alleles at the incompatibility loci are maintained by frequency-dependent selection, and diversity at SLG and SRK appears to be very ancient, with high diversity at silent and replacement sites, pa...
متن کاملThe evolution and diversification of S-locus haplotypes in the Brassicaceae family.
Self-incompatibility (SI) in the Brassicaceae plant family is controlled by the SRK and SCR genes situated at the S locus. A large number of S haplotypes have been identified, mainly in cultivated species of the Brassica and Raphanus genera, but recently also in wild Arabidopsis species. Here, we used DNA sequences from the SRK and SCR genes of the wild Brassica species Brassica cretica, togeth...
متن کاملJoint effects of genetic hitchhiking and background selection on neutral variation.
Due to relatively high rates of strongly selected deleterious mutations, directional selection on favorable alleles (causing hitchhiking effects on linked neutral polymorphisms) is expected to occur while a deleterious mutation-selection balance is present in a population. We analyze this interaction of directional selection and background selection and study their combined effects on neutral v...
