Allozyme Loci

Mating system parameters were estimated in two Italian natural populations of European beech (Fagussylvatica L.) using a mixed mating model and considering seven allozyme loci (Idh-A, Lap-A, Mdh-B, Pgd-A, Pgd-B, Pgd-C, Skd-A). High values of multilocus estimates of the outcrossing rate were found in both populations, ranging from 94 to 98%. Comparison of single- and multi-locus estimates of outcrossing rates seems to indicate the presence of consanguineous matings, probably because the populations are substructured. This hypothesis seems to be confirmed by the presence of a heterogeneity of the pollen allele frequencies across female parent trees and by the significant coefficient of the regression of pollen allele frequencies on ovule genotype. Variation in the fixation indices in different life-cycle phases was observed, indicating possible presence of selective processes between seed set and sexual maturity. Possible explanations of these results are presented.

The Impact

Plant mating systems have profound effects on levels and structuring of genetic variation, and can affect the impact of natural selection. While theory predicts that intermediate outcrossing rates may allow plants to prevent accumulation of deleterious alleles, few studies have empirically tested this prediction using genomic data. Here, we study the effect of mating system on purifying selection by conducting population genomic analyses on whole-genome resequencing data from 38 European individuals of the arctic-alpine crucifer Arabis alpina. We find that outcrossing and mixed-mating populations maintain genetic diversity at similar levels, whereas highly self-fertilizing Scandinavian A. alpina show a strong reduction in genetic diversity, most likely as a result of a postglacial colonization bottleneck. We further find evidence for accumulation of genetic load in highly self-fertilizing populations, whereas the genome-wide impact of purifying selection does not differ greatly between mixed-mating and outcrossing populations. Our results demonstrate that intermediate levels of outcrossing may allow efficient selection against harmful alleles whereas demographic effects can be important for relaxed purifying selection in highly selfing populations. Thus, both mating system and demography shape the impact of purifying selection on genomic variation in A. alpina. These results are important for an improved understanding of the evolutionary consequences of mating system variation and the maintenance of mixed-mating strategies.SignificanceIntermediate outcrossing rates are theoretically predicted to maintain effective selection against harmful alleles, but few studies have empirically tested this prediction using genomic data. We used whole-genome resequencing data from alpine rock-cress to study how genetic variation and purifying selection vary with mating system. We find that populations with intermediate outcrossing rates have similar levels of genetic diversity as outcrossing populations, and that purifying selection against harmful alleles is efficient in mixed-mating populations. In contrast, self-fertilizing populations from Scandinavia have strongly reduced genetic diversity, and accumulate harmful mutations, likely as a result of demographic effects of postglacial colonization. Our results suggest that mixed-mating populations can avoid the negative evolutionary consequences of high self-fertilization rates.
