説明

<jats:p>In plant populations, limited seed dispersal may generate the aggregation of related individuals, which is referred to as spatial genetic structure (SGS). If short-distance pollination frequently occurs in populations with SGS, it may lead to frequent mating between related individuals (biparental inbreeding). In this study, we examined patterns of pollen dispersal and inbreeding under such conditions in a population of the wind-pollinated tree species Fagus crenata Blume using microsatellite analyses of adult trees and dispersed seeds. The population showed weak but significant SGS and the pollen dispersal in the population involved a combination of distance-dependent (largely short-range) dispersion at the local scale and long-distance transport. Although SGS and distance-dependent pollination co-occurred, individual inbreeding coefficients for both adults and seeds were almost zero, suggesting that mating generating sound seeds was genetically random with little or no inbreeding, probably because of the weak SGS, long-distance pollen dispersal, and postpollination mechanisms including self-incompatibility and inbreeding depression. The production of sound seeds through genetically random mating may be important for maintaining F. crenata populations because the resulting seedlings may be less affected by inbreeding depression than those resulting from the mating of related individuals.</jats:p>
