Some studies on heterophylly have proposed possible mechanisms to explain the ontogeny ofheteromorphicseeds.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Most heterostylous species possess aheteromorphicincompatibility system in which intra-morph (assortative) mating is prevented physiologically.

Leavesheteromorphic, usually with dentate or digitate margin.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, it is important to recognize that this analysis assumes that post-pollination mechanisms play no significant role in influencing siring success, as they would in a species withheteromorphicincompatibility.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Gabbro shows ambiguous, possibly liquid-liquid, contacts with porphyritic diorite, which resembles an altered orheteromorphicversion of the gabbro.

They also have aheteromorphicpair of central microtubules in the anterior axoneme.
