Define self-incompatibility. How do self-incompatible plants pollinate?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism in which the growth of the pollen tube in the pistil is inhibited which prevents self pollens from fertilizing the ovules. The self-incompatible plants pollinate by cross-pollination.

What is self-incompatibility ?

Name the type of pollination in self-incompatible plants.

What is self-incompatibility? Why does self-pollination not lead to seed formation in self-incompatible species?

Assertion : Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism which prevents self-pollination and thereby fertilisation by inhibiting either pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil. Reason : In gametophytic self-incompatibility, the incompatibility reaction is determined by the genotype of the sporophytic tissue of the plant from which the pollen is derived.
