Notes: Abstract A bulk-hybrid population of barley (CC-XXI) was investigated for changes over a period of six generations, in (1) generation means and variances for three quantitative characters (2) phenotypic and genotypic frequencies at several marker loci and (3) the components of selection at several life cycle stages (germination and seedling survival, fertility, fecundity) for the dominant-recessive phenotypic classes at three of the above loci. The changes in mean and variance for the quantitative characters appeared to be due to both directional and stabilizing types of selection. The estimates of selective values from frequency data suggested heterozygote advantage along with unequal homozygote fitnesses at locuss and heterozygote disadvantage at locibl, r andv, from computations based on higher outcrossing rates in the presence of male-steriles. Of the components studied, fertility and fecundity appeared to account for a larger portion of the total selective differential than the pre-adult stages (germination and seedling establishment). Net selective values based on component analysis approximated the selective values obtained from the frequency data for locusr. For locis, andv, however, the two estimates were often quite different, although they generally agreed in direction. The discrepancies between the two sets of estimates were discussed in terms of the complexity of overall measures of fitness.

Notes: Abstract The population behavior of a gametophytic factor (Ga) which involves gametic selection due to failure ofga pollen onGa Ga orGa ga styles in competition withGa pollen, was investigated by computer simulation. A constant versus randomly varying gametic selection parameter (k) and four different schemes of zygotic selection were introduced in this model for analyzing conditions favorable for the maintenance of locusGa polymorphic in a large, mixed selfing and random mating population. Stable polymorphism was obtained only with rather substantial heterozygote advantage at locusGa whereas the opposing pressures of gametic and zygotic selection yielded fixation of alleleGa orga around a critical value of k instead of a range of k-values allowing nontrivial equilibria. With weak selection and stochastic k, however, very slow rates of change in the genotypic proportions allowed transient polymorphism. In these cases, the rate of outcrossing (t) and the initial frequency ofGa were critical in determining the rate of allelic substitution. Moreover, low values of t allowed the replacement of alleleGa byga even with rather weak zygotic selection. These findings on the balance between gametic and zygotic selection and a markedly frequency-dependent process are briefly discussed in relation to the dynamics of similar factors involving the mating system.
