Fig. 3: Diagram representing all pollination events detected by paternity analysis in the experimental garden.

From: Widespread coexistence of self-compatible and self-incompatible phenotypes in a diallelic self-incompatibility system in Ligustrum vulgare (Oleaceae)

Fig. 3

On the left, each of the ten mother plants (pollen recipients) is represented by a rectangle whose length is proportional to the number of assigned offspring (from 23 for mother plant MP-04 to 198 for G16-10). On the right, confirmed father plants (pollen donors) are also represented by rectangles whose length is proportional to the number of offspring they sired according to paternity analysis (1–315). The width of the links between pollen donors and mother plants are again proportional to the number of detected events and are colored according to the type of event that occurred (i.e., between-group fertilization, within-group fertilization or selfing event). Dashed lines correspond to the siring events that did not conform with the hypothesis of a functional DSI system in L. vulgare (selfing events in SI individuals in red and within-group fertilizations by SI individuals in blue). Pie charts on the left represent the proportion of the different types of cross (between self-incompatibility (SI) groups, within SI group and selfing) detected by paternity assignment for each mother plant.
