Open AccessTranscriptome analysis reveals self-incompatibility in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) might be under gametophytic control
Self-incompatibility (SI) is under genetic control and prevents inbreeding depression in angiosperms. SI mechanisms are quite complicated and still poorly understood in many plants. Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) bel...
