Abstract: Self-incompatibility is a strategy used in some bisexual flowering plants to avoid inbreeding; for that purpose, the female pistil tissue needs to distinguish between pollen from the same plant and that from other plants. Research withBrassica species has unveiled an element of the genetic mechanism of self-incompatibility — the so-called SRKgene controls the pistil's ability to recognize and reject the same plant's pollen.
