From the reviews: "Self-Incompatibility in Flowering Plants serves as a reference to the latest advances in self-incompatibility (SI) research. ! The book can serve varied audience - an ecologist, evolutionary biologist, molecular biologist or cell biologist. It would also help some-one trying to gain a peek into all of these different areas ! . The book overall is a good summary of the recent advances in SI and can form an immediate reference on topics ! ." (H.S. Arathi, Plant Science Bulletin, Vol. 55 (3), 2009) "A book about progress in understanding self-incompatibility is a good idea. This topic is a classic, with importance for several different areas within biology, ranging from population and evolutionary genetics to cell biology ! . This book, sensibly, contains chapters from experts in different aspects of self-incompatibility. ! The book is ! most suitable for researchers. Each chapter ! provides a good account of the current information (often in great detail)." (Deborah Charlesworth, Annals of Botany, Vol. 105 (1), January, 2010)
