SUMMARYThe results of intercrossing 11 fertile F1 individuals obtained from an interspecific cross between two self-incompatible species of Gasteria, viz. G. liliputarza and G. Ijumilis, reveal that at least two genes control the self-incompatibility reaction. The site of pollen tube inhibition in incompatible matings is confirmed as the ovule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
