Reproductive isolation in plants occurs through multiple barriers that restrict gene flow
between populations, but their origins remain uncertain. Work in the past decade has shown …

Pollen-pistil interactions serve as important prezygotic reproductive barriers that play a
critical role in mate selection in plants. Here, we highlight recent progress toward …

Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants based on
specific discrimination between self-and non-self pollen. Since this trait promotes …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Plants have evolved diverse self-incompatibility (SI) systems for outcrossing. Ever since
Darwin's time, considerable progress has been made toward elucidating this unrivaled …

Pre-zygotic interspecies incompatibility in angiosperms is a male–female relationship that
inhibits the formation of hybrids between two species. Here, we report on the identification of …

• Premise of the study: Interspecific reproductive barriers (IRBs) act to ensure species
integrity by preventing hybridization. Previous studies on interspecific crosses in the tomato …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) domestication and later introduction into Europe resulted
in a genetic bottleneck that reduced genetic variation. Crosses with other wild tomato …
