Selfing's ability to provide reproductive assurance when pollination is uncertain is an oft-cited ecological explanation for its evolution, but this benefit may be outweighed by costs diminishing its selective advantage over outcrossing. We directly studied the fitness effects of a self-compatibility mutation that was backcrossed into a self-incompatible (SI) population of Leavenworthia alabamica, illuminating the direction and magnitude of selection on the mating-system modifier. In array experiments conducted in two years, self-compatible (SC) plants produced 17–26% more seed, but this advantage was counteracted by extensive seed discounting—the replacement of high-quality outcrossed seeds by selfed seeds. Using a simple model and simulations, we demonstrate that SC mutations with these attributes rarely spread to high frequency in natural populations, unless inbreeding depression falls below a threshold value (0.57 ≤ δthreshold ≤ 0.70) in SI populations. A combination of heavy seed discounting and inbreeding depression likely explains why outcrossing adaptations such as self-incompatibility are maintained generally, despite persistent input of selfing mutations, and frequent limits on outcross seed production in nature.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.4657359027997265,"endowment":3.4657359027997265,"datacite_reuse_total":1,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"28075480","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2576880121","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Science Foundation","grant_id":"1119000","title":"Collaborative Research: Integrating gene and individual level selection to understand the evolution of self-fertilization in flowering plants"},{"funder_name":"National Science Foundation","grant_id":"1119176","title":"Collaborative Research: Integrating gene and individual level selection to understand the evolution of self-fertilization in flowering plants"},{"funder_name":"Washington State University","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":6.4925,"citation_percentile":0.95753818,"influential_citations":2,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":6},{"year":2018,"count":3},{"year":2019,"count":5},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":6},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":3},{"year":2025,"count":4}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"Wiley Online Library User Agreement","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":"HYBRID"},{"url":"https://api.wiley.com/onlinelibrary/tdm/v1/articles/10.1111%2Fevo.13167","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full-xml/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/am-pdf/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28075480","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://rss.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/am-pdf/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":""},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/evo.13167","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Plant and animal studies","Plant Reproductive Biology","Plant Parasitism and Resistance","Biology","Medicine","0106 biological sciences","01 natural sciences","Alabama","Animals","Brassicaceae","Genetic Fitness","Insecta","Mutation","Pollen","Pollination","Seeds","Self-Fertilization"],"mesh_terms":["Alabama","Animals","Insecta","Mutation","Pollen","Seeds","Brassicaceae","Pollination","Genetic Fitness","Self-Fertilization"],"keywords":["Selfing","Inbreeding depression","Outcrossing","Biology","Inbreeding","Mating system","Population","Pollination","Outbreeding depression","Evolutionary biology","Ecology","Mating","Demography","Self-incompatibility","self-fertilization","Automatic Selection","Seed Discounting","Insecta","Brassicaceae","Mutation","Seeds","Alabama","Animals","Pollen","Genetic Fitness"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":2,"sdg_label":"2.
