Self-incompatibility (SI) is a widespread intraspecific reproductive barrier in flowering plants, a system for rejecting self-pollen to prevent seed set after self-pollination. In Solanaceae, ...

Self-incompatibility (SI) in flowering plants is a genetically controlled prezygotic barrier that prevents self-fertilisation and promotes outcrossing. Two principal SI systems dominate angiosperms: ...

There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilise themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as “selfing”, ...

A new study presents an evolutionary-biophysical model that sheds new light on the evolution of the collaborative non-self recognition self-incompatibility, a genetic mechanism in plants that prevents ...

Many flowering plants prevent inbreeding and increase genetic diversity by a process called self-incompatibility, in which pollination fails to set seed if the pollen is identified as its own by the ...

Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...
