Popis: Self incompatibility was investigated in the hexaploid garden chrysanthemum, a member of Compositae. Nine sibling clones selected from a highly compatible cross were all self incompatible. 14.8% of the crosses between these sibs in diallel were compatible, but one sib, 67-111-42, accounted for 10 of the 12 compatible crosses. 67-111-42 was also more compatible than the remaining 8 sibs in crosses to other closely related plants. Crosses of the 9 sibs to 12 unrelated tester clones indicated that none were male or female sterile. Inbreeding via pseudocompatibility was successful in increasing homozygosity at the S loci. The percentage of compatible crosses obtained in 3 sib diallels of I 2 clones from crosses of 67-111-42I 1 plants approached that of the original 9 × 9 diallel, but no one individual accounted for most of the compatible crosses. It was possible to separate the 9 sibs into 9 incompatibility patterns from the pollinations made in this study. The evidence suggests that the self-incompatibility reaction in the garden chrysanthemum is sporophytic and involves more than 1 locus.
