Abstract excerpt
In many angiosperms, outcrossing is enforced by genetic self-incompatibility (SI), which allows cells of the pistil to recognize and specifically inhibit "self" pollen. SI is often associated with increased stigma-anther separation, a morphological trait that promotes cross-pollen deposition on the stigma. However, the gene networks responsible for coordinate evolution of these complex outbreeding devices are not...
