Can females benefit from selfing avoidance? Genetic associations and the evolution of plant gender

Evolutionary stability of dioecy and nuclear gynodioecy in higher plants requires that females produce over twice as many successful seeds as hermaphrodites. This fitness differential is widely thought to derive primarily from the advantages of outcrossing caused by high selfing rates and inbreeding...
