Late-acting self-incompatibility in angiosperms

TL;DR: An hypothesis for the operation of post-zygotic SI is described whereby maternal resources to developing embryos are terminated if the embryo (and/or endosperm) fall below a threshold level of heterosis.

Hybrid necrosis: autoimmunity as a potential gene-flow barrier in plant species

TL;DR: The hypothesis that hybrid necrosis can result from autoimmunity, perhaps as a pleiotropic effect of evolution of genes that are involved in pathogen response is presented.

Haploids in flowering plants: origins and exploitation.

TL;DR: The range of techniques available for the isolation or induction of haploids are described and their value in a range of areas are discussed, from fundamental research on mutant isolation and transformation, through to applied aspects of quantitative genetics and plant breeding.

Nomenclatural changes and a new sectional classification in Nicotiana (Solanaceae)

The soluble specific substance of pneumococcus

TL;DR: Improvements in the methods have resulted in the isolation of the end-products in a form free from nitrogen and of enhanced activity with immune serum, and evidence so far accumulated is believed to favor strongly the view that the polysaccharides isolated are the actual specific substances of Pneumococcus.
