Helping plants to deal with insects: the role of beneficial soil-borne microbes.

abstract：:Many hermaphrodite flowering plants avoid self-fertilization through genetic systems of self-incompatibility (SI). SI allows a plant to recognize and to reject self or self-related pollen, thereby preserving its ovules for outcrossing. Genes situated at the S-locus encode the 'male' (pollen) and 'female' (pistil) reco...
