Flowering & PollinationWhat does delayed self-incompatibility mean in mango reproductive studies?
It describes a failure that becomes evident after apparently successful early events, rather than immediate rejection of self-pollen at the stigma. Mango research has documented self-pollen tubes reaching internal reproductive tissues followed by abnormal embryo development. The practical implication is that visible pollen germination alone cannot settle compatibility. Such findings apply to the material studied and should not be generalized to every mango cultivar.
