Figure 2

Expected proportion of progeny arrays segregating as all female, all hermaphroditic, or mixed gender from hermaphroditic maternal parents or female maternal parents. The different panels illustrate the effects of varying frequencies of occurrence of cytoplasmic male sterility (cms), inbreeding (f), and frequency of nuclear male restorer alleles on the offspring expected proportions. Panels ‘a’ and ‘b’ consider the dynamics with high or low level of cms, respectively, where there is no inbreeding (as with a very large population). Panels ‘c’ and ‘d’ show the population dynamics considering these two levels of cms, but with an inbreeding coefficient of 0.5 as may be expected in a smaller population.
