Pr. Banks et Wd. Beversdorf, SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY AS A POLLINATION CONTROL MECHANISM FOR SPRING OILSEED RAPE, BRASSICA-NAPUS L, Euphytica, 75(1-2), 1994, pp. 27-30
Self-incompatibility was shown to be an effective method of pollinatio
n control in spring rapeseed (B. napus L. ssp. oleifera (Metzg.)) by c
omparing the yield of a Westar-Topas syn-1 produced by crossing two SI
lines with the yield of the corresponding syn-1 produced by hand poll
ination. Although the trial showed high-parent heterosis in the syn-1s
, there was insufficient replication to determine the level of heteros
is.
