In order to understand the evolutionary process of self-incompatibility, we must know the genetic variability of the self-incompatibility genes within and between populations. Statistical methods for estimating the effective number of alleles, expected heterozygosity and genetic distance from pollination experiments were developed, which can be applied to both gametophytic and sporophytic self-incompatibility systems. In these methods, bud-pollination, which is necessary for obtaining homozygotes, is not required. Since bud-pollination, which is time-consuming, is not required in the present methods, they might be useful.
为了理解自交不亲和性的进化过程，我们必须了解种群内部和种群之间自交不亲和基因的遗传变异性。人们开发了从授粉实验中估计等位基因有效数量、预期杂合度和遗传距离的统计方法，这些方法可应用于配子体和孢子体自交不亲和系统。在这些方法中，获得纯合子所必需的蕾期授粉并非必要。由于本方法不需要耗时的蕾期授粉，所以它们可能是有用的。
