Breeding structure of a highly selected cultivar of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata)

Abstract: SUMMARYThe breeding system of a very uniform open-pollinated cultivar of cabbage, Avon Coronet, was studied by determining S-genotype frequencies. In a sample of 52 plants, 24 were S2.2, 26 were S2.7 and 2 were S7.7. S2.7 plants were moderately self-compatible, but S2.2 and S7.7 plants were fairly highly selfincompatible. As males, S2.7 plants were fully compatible with S22, but as females were fairly incompatible. From an analysis of five single plant progenies it was concluded that S2.2 plants produce seed b… Show more

“…I have shown that, as the coefficient of relationship increases, the level of cross-compatibility between P. drummondii plants declines. This finding is consistent with results for other outcrossing species (e.g., Oenothera organensis [Emerson, 1938), Trifolium pratense [Williams, 1947), Papaver rhoeas [Lawrence, 1975), Brassica oleracea [Ockendon and Currah, 1979), and Calotis cuneifolia [Davidson and Stace, 1986)). The greater the relatedness of plants, the higher is the probability that they will share self-incompatibility alleles and then be partially or totally cross-incompatible.…”

“…In Brassica can'tpestris, on the other hand, which has the same genetic system of selfincompatibility, self-compatible plants have been found in natural populations with a frequency of 4.5 to 13.8 per cent, their occurrence being attributed to the effects of environment and/or genetic background other than the S-locus (Nou et al, 1993b). A wide range of variation in S-allele activity and mutual weakening of S-alleles in the self-incompatibility reaction have also been reported in other species of Brassica (Ockendon & Currah, 1979;Wallace, 1979). Secondly, a large number of S-alleles participates in the insect-mediated pollination of the diploid I. trfida, as a total of 49 different S-alleles was found in 224 plants from six natural populations (Table 2).…”

“…As expected, considerable overlap occurs between varieties in their S-allele constitutions (due to their recent common ancestry), but some differentiation has occurred, and the total number of different 5-alleles found in the four varieties combined is 49 (Ockendon, 1985). This is quite a large number bearing in mind that artificial selection and breeding is likely to have depleted the S-allele pool (Ockendon and Currah, 1979;Ockendon, 1974;1982).…”
