Abstract
Single-locus sporophytic self-incompatibility inhibits inbreeding in many members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae). To investigate the genetics of self-incompatibility in the wild mustard Leavenworthia alabamica, diallel crosses were conducted between full siblings. Patterns of incompatibility were consistent with the action of single-locus sporophytic self-incompatibility. DNA sequences related to S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), the gene involved in self-pollen recognition in mustards, were cloned and sequenced. A single sequence with high identity to SRK and several other groups of sequences (Lal1, Lal2, Lal3, Lal8, and Lal14) were isolated from L. alabamica. We propose that either Lal2 sequences are divergent alleles of SRK or Lal2 is in tight linkage with SRK because (1) Lal2 alleles cosegregate with S-alleles inferred from dialleles in all 97 cases tested in five families; (2) Lal2 sequences are highly diverse at both synonymous and nonsynonymous sites and exhibit patterns of selective constraint similar to those observed at SRK in Brassica and Arabidopsis; and (3) transcripts of one Lal2 allele were detected in leaves and the styles of open flowers, but were most abundant in the stigmas of maturing buds. We discuss the utility of the S-linked polymorphism at Lal2 for studying the evolutionary forces acting on self-incompatibility in Leavenworthia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
