Abstract excerpt
Many hermaphroditic plants avoid self-fertilization by rejecting pollen that express genetically-determined specificities in common with the pistil. Self-incompatibility systems typically show extremely high genetic diversity, some maintaining hundreds of specificities. This article addresses the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms through which new mating specificities arise. Recent investigations of the genetic...
