How flowering plants discriminate between self and non-self pollen to prevent inbreeding.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 29 Oct 1996

Kao T H, McCubbin A G

Abstract excerpt

Flowering plants have evolved various genetic mechanisms to circumvent the tendency for self-fertilization created by the close proximity of male and female reproductive organs in a bisexual flower. One such mechanism is gametophytic self-incompatibility, which allows the female reproductive organ, the pistil, to distinguish between self pollen and non-self pollen; self pollen is rejected, whereas non-self pollen...
