Abstract:Summary In a study of partial self-compatbility inBrassica oleracea, flower number, seeded siliqua and seed production were recorded on self- and cross-pollinated inflorescences of the progenies of a half diallel between five unrelated inbred plants homozygous for the same recessiveS-allele.On cross-pollinated inflorescences significant amounts of additively controlled genetic variation were found for seed set per flowering site and its two components, seeded siliquae per flower and seeds per seeded siliquae. Considerable heterosis and gene interaction were also present and a simple additive dominance model did not fully explain the observed variation.On self-pollinated inflorescences, additive gene action was absent for the seed production variates although differences between progenies were highly significant and heterosis was present. Complex gene interactions were considered to be responsible. The characteristics of the method of assessment used and the relationship between self- and outcross seed production are discussed. It appears unlikely that the component lines could be selected for reduced self seed set, but selection for higher outcross seed set may be possible.
