Incompatibility in heterostylous plants

  • Chapter
Genetic control of self-incompatibility and reproductive development in flowering plants

Part of the book series: Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants ((CMBP,volume 2))

Abstract

Self-incompatible flowering plants are often classified into two major categories, depending on whether mating types in populations are morphologically alike or unlike (Fisher and Mather 1943; Lewis 1949; de Nettancourt 1977; Gibbs 1986; Barrett 1988a). In species with homomorphic incompatibility, populations are composed of numerous mating types identical in appearance with incompatibility under the control of one or more S-loci with multiple alleles. In contrast, only two (distyly) or three (tristyly) mating types occur in populations of species with heteromorphic incompatibility; these can be readily distinguished by differences in the position of reproductive parts within flowers (Fig. 1). The two classes of incompatibility differ in their distribution and abundance among angiosperm families. Homomorphic incompatibility is widely distributed with estimates of up to fifty percent of all angiosperms possessing this type of incompatibility (Darlington and Mather 1949; Brewbaker 1957). Heteromorphic incompatibility, on the other hand, is reliably reported from only 25 families and in many of these its occurrence is restricted to a small number of genera (Ganders 1979a; Lloyd and Webb 1992a). The kinds of research conducted on homomorphic and heteromorphic incompatibility systems have taken different courses, reflecting fundamental differences between the two systems in their general properties and use as experimental systems.
