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 …

The ornate surfaces of male and female reproductive cells in flowering plants have long
attracted attention for their variety and evolutionary significance. These structures, and the …

Breeding systems are important, and often neglected, aspects of the natural biology of
organisms, affecting homozygosity and thus many aspects of their biology, including levels …

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 …

Potato breeding can be redirected to a diploid inbred/F1 hybrid variety breeding strategy if
self-compatibility can be introduced into diploid germplasm. However, the majority of diploid …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental biological process common among eukaryotes.
Because of the significance of reproductive proteins to fitness, the diversity and rapid …

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 …

Pollen–pistil interactions are crucial for controlling plant mating. For example, S-RNase-
based self-incompatibility prevents inbreeding in diverse angiosperm species. S-RNases …

Supergenes are genetic architectures associated with discrete and concerted variation in
multiple traits. It has long been suggested that supergenes control these complex …
