Question
What is self-incompatibility?

Solution
Sexual incompatibility occurs when a pistil with functioning female gametes fails to establish seeds after pollination with viable and fertile pollen capable of fertilizing another pistil. Sexual incompatibility can arise between members of different species or within the same species. The condition is also known as self-incompatibility.
