This document discusses self-incompatibility in plants. It begins by defining self-incompatibility as the inability of a plant's pollen to fertilize itself or other flowers on the same plant. The document then classifies self-incompatibility into heteromorphic and homomorphic types. Heteromorphic self-incompatibility is associated with flower morphology and includes distyly and tristyly. Homomorphic self-incompatibility includes gametophytic and sporophytic systems, which differ in whether compatibility is determined by the pollen or plant genotype. The document provides examples and limitations of self-incompatibility.
