  Abstract

It is known that a single-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system can persist with just two distinct alleles in an autotetraploid population, in contrast to diploid GSI systems, assuming "competitive interaction" in which heteroallelic pollen is universally compatible. The steady-state population structure of a GSI system in autotetraploids was investigated in an undivided population assuming "competitive interaction." A deterministic model was developed to predict the frequencies of genotypes with two, three, or four distinct S alleles, assuming no mutation or population subdivision. The model showed that unlike in diploid GSI systems, the limiting values of the frequencies of genotype classes do not minimize pollen wastage.
