  abstract = {{B}ackground and {A}ims {T}he pseudometallophyte {N}occaea caerulescens is an excellent model to study evolutionary processes, as it grows both on normal and on heavy-metal-rich, toxic soils. {T}he evolution and demography of populations are critically impacted by mating system and, yet, information about the {N}. caerulescens mating system is limited. {M}ethods {M}ean selfing rates were assessed using microsatellite loci and a robust estimation method ({RMES}) in five metallicolous and five non-metallicolous populations of {N}. caerulescens in {S}outhern {F}rance, and this measure was replicated for two successive reproductive seasons. {A}s a part of the study, the patterns of gene flow among populations were analysed. {T}he mating system was then characterized at a fine spatial scale in three populations using the {MLTR} method on progeny arrays. {K}ey {R}esults {T}he results confirm that {N}. caerulescens has a mixed mating system, with selfing rates ranging from 0 center dot 2 to 0 center dot 5. {S}elfing rates did not vary much among populations within ecotypes, but were lower in the metallicolous than in the non-metallicolous ecotype, in both seasons. {E}ffective population size was also lower in non-metallicolous populations. {B}iparental inbreeding was null to moderate. {D}ifferentiation among populations was generally high, but neither ecotype nor isolation by distance explained it. {C}onclusions {T}he consequences of higher selfing rates on adaptation are expected to be weak to moderate in non-metallicolous populations and they are expected to suffer less from inbreeding depression, compared to metallicolous populations.},
