Floral mechanisms promote pollination success and reduce the incidence of self‐pollination in a fly‐pollinated self‐incompatible orchid [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAmong flowering plants, self‐incompatibility is considered the most efficient system for avoiding self‐fertilization. However, many self‐incompatible plants have also evolved floral mechanisms to reduce sexual conflict.
