โฆ Synopsis
Partial dominance between S-alleles in the stigma was found to be common in 412 plants of Brussels sprouts in which two S-alleles could be detected. Amongst a further 168 plants in which only one S-allele could be detected, 5 plants showed the detected allele to be completely dominant to the other allele present, but further examples are expected. Dominance relationships are given for 34 pairs of S-alleles representing 16 different S-alleles. The most recessive S-alleles in the stigma appear to be S5, S14, S15 and S45, while the most dominant are S23, S29, S35, S36 and S39. The significance of dominance between S-alleles in connection with the breeding system of Brussels sprouts is discussed, and an explanation proposed for the high frequency of S2 based on its unusual dominance behaviour.

In two highly self incompatible inbred lines of Brussels sprouts the effect of increased atmospheric humidity post pollination was examined immediately following 1) hand pollination of green buds and open flowers, and 2) blowfly pollination of open flowers. Data were obtained for mean number of seed
## Dominant S-alleles have been found to confer stronger self-incompatibility than recessive S-alleles in Brussels sprouts' inbred lines, but the overall effect is small and the degree of self-incompatibility associated with dominant S-alleles is often as great as that from recessives. Within the
