Sporophytic and Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility

  • Chapter
Sexual Plant Reproduction

Abstract

In this article the main features of the best-studied self- incompatibility (SI) systems will be summarized (see also Nasrallah and Nasrallah 1989, and Harings et al. 1991), followed by a more detailed description of potato pistil proteins and their possible role in SI.
