Abstract
Self-incompatibility systems in flowering plants have, over the last sixty years, been repeatedly compared and classified into a remarkably consistent plan which has stood the test of time. Probably the most constant part of the plan has been the genetic control of the pollen into two distinct classes: Gametophytic, with the S gene being transcribed and translated in the gametophyte, the pollen grain, after the genes have segregated at meiosis, and the Sporophytic, with the gene being transcribed and probably translated before meiosis in the sporophytic tissue. This tissue may be pre-meiotic cells or special nutrient tissue, the tapetum, but genetically this is irrelevant.
