Abstract
Pollen-pistil incompatibility generally refers to the ubiquitous self-incompatibility (SI) phenomenon characteristic of angiosperms. Interpopulation pollen-pistil interactions resulting in malfunction also occur and often have been ascribed to the genetic system controlling SI (Lewis and Crowe, 1958; Pandey, 1969). A generally held concept unifying theoretical treatments of SI and intertaxa incompatibility is that pollen-pistil incompatibility is an active process, evolving as the result of selection. In 1973, Hoganboom proposed that failure in pollen-pistil interactions can be passive and termed this phenomenon incongruity.
