“…In order to breed pure lines or to retain parent lines for Fi seed production, overcoming self-incompatibility is an important problem. The methods of overcoming self-incom patibility such as hormone application (8 ,9 , 18), temperature treatments (1,3,11,12,15,25,32), mentor pollen application (7,14,26,28,29), bud or old flower pollination (2,27), pla cental, ovarian, or test tube pollination (4,13,20) and a me chanical or electric method (22,23,24) differ depending on plant genera. The self-incompatibility of R. sativus may be partially overcome by either bud pollination or CO?…”
