Several seedlings of Nemesia strumosa with various levels of pseudo-self-compatibility (PSC) often produced more seed after self pollination than when pollinated using pollen from incompatible plants bearing the same S alleles. Sporophytic recognition of self pollen apparently increases PSC levels a

β¦ Synopsis
To estimate the numbers of sporophytic S-alleles in two adjacent populations of wild radish, we performed 701 reciprocal crosses among 50 individuals. Each cross was replicated five times in each direction. Sixteen plants were fully intercompatible, indicating the presence of at least 32 S-alleles in the two populations. A minimum of 22 S-alleles occur in a single population. The frequency of incompatibility was significantly higher for within-population crosses (14.5%) than for between-population crosses (7.8%). This suggests that the two populations differ in the composition and frequency of alleles at the S-locus.
