Self-pollination in some groups of plants is prevented by a sophisticated biochemical signalling system. The molecule active in the female emerges as a highly charged glycoprotein, but the identity of the male determinant remains unknown. Studies of both the molecular biology and the physiology of t

โฆ Synopsis
Eleven garden chrysanthemum siblings obtained through two generations of single-plant selfpollination were selfed and crossed in a complete diallel. Outcrosses to unrelated individuals were performed to test for male and female fertility.
Since eleven crossing patterns were found in the diallel, at least three genes must be assumed.
Our data suggest independent gene action with intragenic dominance.
One inbred, 77-AM3-3, expressed a high level of pseudo-self-compatibility (PSC) by giving some very low cross seed sets along with high self seed set. This inbred also exhibited variable PSC from season to season.

The impact of ovule number on seed set calculations for self-incompatible (SI) species was investigated. Diploid Chrysanthemum was chosen for this study because accurate counts of the potential number of ovules could be made. Individuals in populations of C. carinatum, C. coron- arium, C. c. subsp,
