Abstract
Plant populations are characterized by a wide variety of mating systems. The precise influence of the mating system on genetic transmission can be measured with marker genes and elementary statistical models. This paper shows that measurement of mating structure in natural and experimental plant populations can be a powerful aid in isolating the various phenomena influencing the transmission process.Keywords
