This document discusses self-incompatibility in plants. It describes self-incompatibility as the inability of a plant with normal pollen and ovules to set seeds due to a physiological barrier preventing fertilization. There are two main types of self-incompatibility: sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI) and gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI). GSI is controlled by the genetic constitution of the gametes, with pollen grains unable to germinate on stigmas containing similar alleles. GSI occurs commonly in potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, and clovers. The document also lists some methods for eliminating self-incompatibility, such as doubling plant chromosomes, identifying self-compatible mutants,
