Processes involved in the evolution of plant reproductive systems are reviewed. It is shown that constraints imposed by the rules of genetic transmission, and by the properties of available genetic variation in the breeding system, may significantly affect the outcome of natural selection on reproductive systems. Theoretical predictions of selection models are compared with the evidence from genetic and comparative studies of breeding systems. Some practical implications for the plant breeder are discussed.
