The majority of flowering plants produce perfect flowers that contain both the male and
female reproductive organs in close proximity; consequently, they would have a strong …

▪ Abstract Many bisexual flowering plants possess a reproductive strategy called self-
incompatibility (SI) that enables the female tissue (the pistil) to reject self but accept non-self …

Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of
pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the …

Many flowering plants have adopted self-incompatibility mechanisms to prevent inbreeding
and promote out-crosses. In the Solanaceae, Rosaceae and Scrophulariaceae, two …

In many flowering plants, self-fertilization is prevented by an intraspecific reproductive
barrier known as self-incompatibility (SI), that, in most cases, is controlled by a single …

FLOWERING plants have evolved various stratagems to prevent inbreeding and promote
outcrosses1. One such mechanism, gametophytic self-incompatibility, provides a genetic …

MANY angiosperms employ self-incompatibility systems to prevent inbreeding1, 2. The
simple genetics of such systems3–6 have made them attractive models of plant cellular …

The author offers an overview of pollen biology and biotechnology for students and
researchers in areas such as reproductive biology, biotechnology, aeropalynology, plant …

Sexual reproduction in many angiosperm plants involves self-incompatibility (SI), which is
one of the most important mechanisms to prevent inbreeding. SI is genetically controlled by …

Several self-compatible species of higher plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, have
recently been found to contain S-like RNases. These S-like RNases are homologous to the …
