Consider the following statements associated with self-incompatibility in crop plants
1. Heteromorphic system shows only gemetophytic control of self-incompatibility.
2. Both sporophytic and gametophytic controls of self-incompatibility are found in homomorphic system.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The following statements that are correct associated with self-incompatibility in crop plants are both sporophytic and gametophytic controls of self-incompatibility found in the homomorphic system.
Self-incompatibility is a widespread mechanism in flowering plants that prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing. The self-incompatibility response is genetically controlled by one or more multi-allelic loci and relies on a series of complex cellular interactions between the self-incompatible pollen and pistil.
