Abstract excerpt
Self-incompatibility in flowering plants is a common mechanism that prevents self-fertilization and promotes outcrossing. In Brassicaceae, the self-incompatibility locus is highly diverse, with many alleles arranged in a complex dominance hierarchy and exhibiting monoallelic expression in heterozygote individuals. Monoallelic expression of the pollen self-incompatibility gene is achieved through the action of...
