The evolutionary transition to self-compatibility facilitates polyploid speciation. In Arabidopsis relatives, the self-incompatibility system is characterized by epigenetic dominance modifiers, among which small RNAs suppress the expression of a recessive SCR/SP11 haplogroup. Although the contribution of dominance to polyploid self-compatibility is speculated, little functional evidence has been reported. Here we employ transgenic techniques to the allotetraploid plant A. kamchatica. We
