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 …

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

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 …

Ribonucleases of the T2 family are found in the genomes of protozoans, plants, bacteria,
animals and viruses. A broad range of biological roles for these ribonucleases have been …

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 Background: Self‐incompatibility (SI) in the Solanaceae, Rosaceae and
Scrophulariaceae is gametophytically controlled by a single polymorphic locus, termed the S …

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