Stability area plots for a two-locus model with epistasis in costs of alleles at different loci (model B2), in relation to values of the autoinfection rate (ψ) and the cost to a plant of being diseased by two parasite generations (φ). u₁, u₂, costs of host resistance; b₁, b₂, costs of parasite virulence; u₁ = 0.072 and b₁ = 0.024; u₂ = b₂ = 0.0975. (a) Stability of polymorphism in the host population. Area A, fixation of double-susceptible genotype 00; area B, stable polymorphism with 00 and the single-resistant genotypes 10 and 01; area C, stable polymorphism with all four genotypes (10, 01, 00, 11); area F, unstable polymorphism with all four genotypes; area E, fixation of 00. (b) Stability of polymorphism in the parasite population. Area G, fixation of the double-avirulent genotype 11; area H, stable polymorphism with 11 and the single-avirulent genotypes 01 and 10; area I, stable polymorphism with all four genotypes (10, 01, 00, 11); area M, unstable polymorphism with all four genotypes; area L, fixation of the double-virulent genotype 00.
