The metabolite 2-hydroxybutyrate is an important aspect of exhaustion which leads to increased capacity in the branched chain amino acid degradation pathway.
To maintain genomic integrity during oocyte development, the tumor suppressor BRCA1/BRC-1 and the SMC-5/6 complex both repress intersister crossover recombination events while BRCA1/BRC-1 also specifically inhibits error prone repair of DNA breaks during meiotic prophase I.

By modulating the intensity of balancing selection at the S-locus, dominance between self-incompatibility alleles shapes the genetic load linked to each allele, creating inbreeding depression in some S-locus homozygotes.
