Chez les plantes, les mécanismes qui favorisent le maintien de la diversité génétique sont la diœcie (fleurs mâles et fleurs femelles sur des individus différents), la monœcie (fleurs mâles et fleurs femelles séparées mais présentes sur un même individu), l'hétérostylie (individus génétiquement différents chez une même espèce qui présentent des styles et des étamines de longueurs différentes favorisant ou nécessitant une pollinisation croisée), la gynodiœcie (présence de fleurs femelles seulement chez certains individus d'une espèce donnée, et de fleurs femelles et de fleurs mâles chez d'autres), la dichogamie (maturation asynchrone des anthères et des stigmates d'une même fleur) et divers autres systèmes d'incompatibilité. 2, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9t%C3%A9rostylie
