[edit] Third System?

There are more systems, but, what should that third system in Potentilla/Dasiphora fruticosa be? Is there any literature? Innes and Lenz call it gametophytic, so it's not a new system. (Innes, R.L. and L.M. Lenz. 1990. A Genetic Analysis of Self-Incompatibility and Double Flowers in Potentilla fruticosa L. Euphytica 51:241-248.) --134.93.62.50 00:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Heterostyly

I believe heterostyly should have its own page. The terms heterostyly and self-incompatibility are not synonomous as far as I know.

[edit] Should We Split This Article?

Following a discussion in the Hebrew Wikipedia about whether or not each species should have its own article, the subject of the self-incompatibility article has also risen. Someone claims that this article should be split - as it relates to different mechanisms which are evolutionarily independent. One of the disadvantages of the current (merged) format, is that the S locus, described for different mechanisms in parallel, can be mistakenly conceived to consist of a single locus for all mechanisms. Do you think this article should be split? You are also welcome to state your opinion about the one species-one article idea, although Wikipedia's policy was already stated here: [1]. Thank you in advance, Gidip 20:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

If any one section gets too big, then it should be budded off, and the article should take on a summary format. I don't think it matters that it's evolved many times, as this is about a set of mechanisms that have the function. —Pengo 07:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restructure

I am thinking of doing some major editing to this article and so thought I would make my plants avalible. Intro 1 - Heteromorphic SI

2 - S-RNase GSI (intro) 2.1 S-RNAse 2.2 Male Specificity Determinant 2.3 Modifier Genes 2.4 Gate Keeper Model 2.5 Inhibitor model

3 - GSI in the Papaverceae 3.1 S proteins 3.2 Mechanism of incompatibility

4 - SSI 4.1 SRK and SLG 4.2 SCR/SP11 4.3 Mechanism 4.4 Dominace and Genetic Complexities

And then other sections already in the article. (Million_Moments 14:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC))
