Flowering plants have evolved several mechanisms for controlling pollination. Genetic self-incompatibility is one of the most elaborate and “smart” systems known to date. In the Brassicaceae, recognition of “self” pollen in the self-incompatibility response is based on highly specific interactions between matched stigma surface receptors and pollen coat ligands encoded by haplotypes of theSlocus, which triggers arrest of pollen tube development. This chapter presents a brief historical account of the analysis of SI in the Brassicaceae, an overview of our current understanding of the recognition and response phases of SI, and a summary of progress made in elucidating the genetic basis of loss of SI and switches to self-fertility in various lineages, with an emphasis on knowledge gained from analysis of a recently developed transgenicArabidopsis thalianaself-incompatible model.
