Estimating Confidence Limits for Electrophoretic Mating System Parameters in Black Walnut

Starch gel electrophoretic banding patterns from black walnut embryo progeny of 26 wind-pollinated trees were used to generate the mating system parameters of outcrossing rate and fixation index. Confidence intervals around these mating system parameters were estimated by the "jackknife" method of alternating serial data omission. Preliminary analyses of mating system parameters and their confidence intervals indicated inbreeding to be a relatively minor component of the species mating system.
