Mixed mating in a recently derived self-compatible population of Leavenworthia alabamica (Brassicaceae).

Premise Of The Study: A mixture of outcrossing and selfing is often observed in plant populations. Although mixed mating is ubiquitous, it has several potential evolutionary explanations. Mixed mating may be actively maintained by selection, passively determined by the pollination environment, or a transitional stage during the evolution of self-fertilization.
