The mechanisms by which flowering plants choose their mating partners have interested
researchers for a long time. Recent findings on the molecular mechanisms of non-self …

Plants have evolved diverse self-incompatibility (SI) systems for outcrossing. Since Darwin's
time, considerable progress has been made toward elucidating this unrivaled reproductive …

Flowering plants have evolved numerous intraspecific and interspecific prezygotic
reproductive barriers to prevent production of unfavourable offspring. Within a species, self …

Over the past 20 y, many studies have examined the history of the plant ecological and
molecular model, Arabidopsis thaliana, in Europe and North America. Although these …

The self-incompatibility (SI) system with the broadest taxonomic distribution in angiosperms
is based on multiple S-locus F-box genes (SLF s) tightly linked to an S-RNase termed type …

Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis and Capsella, grows on the
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) about 4,000 m above sea level and represents an attractive …

Colonization is likely to be more successful for species with an ability to self‐fertilize and
thus to establish new populations as single individuals. As a result, self‐compatibility should …

Selfing has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is
considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the …

Self-incompatibility (SI) in angiosperms prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing to
generate genetic diversity. In many angiosperms, self/non-self recognition in SI is …

The self‐incompatible species Arabidopsis halleri is a close relative of the self‐compatible
model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The broad European and Asian distribution and heavy …
