Resumen:
In summary, the main difference between theconcepts expressed by Till-Bottraud & de Villemereuil (2015) and Crepy& Casal (2015) is in the use of the term kin recognition. We understandthat the availability of mutants among other tools in the plant field offer theoption to  test independently differentaspects of the whole process (e.g. the mechanisms of kin recognition, theevolutionary significance of kin recognition). These approaches are onlybeginning to be used and much remains to be done. In our opinion, in thisscenario it would be better to keep the simplest meaning of the term kinrecognition.
