Abstract

The inheritance of self-incompatibility in two South American cultivated diploid species, Solanum phureja and S. stenotomum subsp. stenotomum, conforms with the Nicotiana scheme of oppositional S alleles. Similar studies in hybrids between S. phureja and a haploid (US-W 253) derived from S. tuberosum subsp. andigena were explained on the assumption of S alleles at homologous loci. The cut-stem technique employed in haploid extraction was used to facilitate the analyses. Maintenance of a series of heterozygous S allele testers is accomplished via matings with a clone homozygous for the S allele common to the series. True seed obtained from such crosses consists of only the desired S genotype.
