Evolutionary genetics of an S-like polymorphism in Papaveraceae with putative function in self-incompatibility.

<h4>Background</h4>Papaver rhoeas possesses a gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) system not homologous to any other SI mechanism characterized at the molecular level. Four previously published full length stigmatic S-alleles from the genus Papaver exhibited remarkable sequence diverg...
