Self-pollination in some groups of plants is prevented by a sophisticated biochemical signalling system. The molecule active in the female emerges as a highly charged glycoprotein, but the identity of the male determinant remains unknown. Studies of both the molecular biology and the physiology of t

The complementary incompatibility system, characterized by co-operative control of a single S specificity by alleles of two or more distinct S genes, has raised interesting questions regarding the origin and evolutionary significance of this system. What were the factors which led to the appearance
The self-incompatibility system in Potentilla fruticosa was investigated by examining pollen cytology, and by analysing intercrosses between two self-incompatible, cross-compatible cultivars of the species. The pollen was found to be binucleate, which is consistent with a single locus self-incompati
