INCEST BARRIERS. “As many as 50% of angiosperms also possess mechanisms to avoid self-fertilization by using SI to prevent inbreeding. SI provides mechanisms for self-recognition and rejection, and is specified by S-determinant genes at a highly polymorphic, multi-allelic S-locus. Thus, this is a key mechanism involving crosstalk between pollen and pistil.”
