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 …

The mammalian embryo cannot develop without the placenta. Its specialized cells
(trophoblast, endoderm, and extraembryonic mesoderm) form early in development. They …

Petunia hybrida is a popular bedding plant that has a long history as a genetic model
system. We report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of its …

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

Since Darwinian times considerable knowledge has accumulated on the distribution,
physiology and genetics of self-incompatibility (SI) in higher plants. In the second half of this …

Sexual reproduction in many flowering plants involves self-incompatibility (SI self-
incompatibility), which is one of the most important systems to prevent inbreeding. In many …

Three‐week old plants of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv CT9993 and cv IR62266) developed
gradual water stress over 23 days of transpiration without watering, during which period the …

Gametophytic self-incompatibility in Rosaceae, Solanaceae, and Scrophulariaceae is
controlled by the S locus, which consists of an S-RNase gene and an unidentified “pollen S” …

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

• Premise of the study: While we have a good understanding of how co‐flowering plants
interact via pollinator foraging, we still know very little about how plants interact via …
