Self-incompatibility (SI) is a sophisticated reproductive strategy that prevents self-fertilisation and maintains genetic variability in flowering plants. This mechanism involves highly specific ...
Commercial seeds of Brassicaceae vegetable crops are mostly F₁ hybrids, the production of which depends on self-incompatibility during pollination. Self-incompatibility is known to be weakened by ...
Background and aims The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a repeated pattern in angiosperm diversification and according to general theory this transition should occur quickly and mixed ...
Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...
A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an engineered version of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an ...
There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilise themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as “selfing”, ...
