WHAT DOES SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Self-incompatibility in plants

Self-incompatibility is a general name for several genetic mechanisms in angiosperms, which prevent self-fertilization and thus encourage outcrossing. It should not be confused with genetically controlled physical or temporal mechanisms that prevent self-pollination, such as heterostyly and sequential hermaphroditism. In plants with SI, when a pollen grain produced in a plant reaches a stigma of the same plant or another plant with a similar genotype, the process of pollen germination, pollen tube growth, ovule fertilization, and embryo development is halted at one of its stages, and consequently no seeds are produced. SI is one of the most important means to prevent selfing and promote the generation of new genotypes in plants, and it is considered as one of the causes for the spread and success of the angiosperms on the earth.

Definition of self-incompatibility in the English dictionary

The definition of self-incompatibility in the dictionary is the quality of being incapable of self-fertilization because of the fact that the pollen of the plant is prevented from germinating on the stigma or the pollen tube is blocked before it reaches the egg cell.
