Abstract
Self-incompatibility (SI) promotes outcrossing, but transitions to self-compatibility (SC) are frequent. Population genetic theory describing the breakdown of SI to SC suggests that, under most conditions, populations should be composed of either SI or SC individuals. Under a narrow range of conditions, theory suggests that SI may persist alongside reduced expression of SI (pseudo-SI, PSI) in mixed-mating populations. We studied genetic variation for PSI segregating in four SI populations of Leavenworthia alabamica by measurement of the heritability of pollen tube number after self-pollination. We tested for the role of the S-locus in this variation by sequencing seven S-alleles from plants with high pseudo-SC (PSC) and testing for the co-segregation of these alleles with PSC. We found a continuous distribution of PSC in all populations and 90% of plants exhibited PSC. The heritability ranged from 0.39 to 0.57. All seven S-alleles from plants with high PSC exhibited trans-specific polymorphism, and no stop codons were observed within the c. 600-bp region sequenced. One of these S-alleles was directly associated with the inheritance of PSC. We conclude that heritable variation in PSC is largely a result of genetic variation in the signaling cascade downstream of the S-locus reaction, together with the presence of one leaky S-allele.

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
