Abstract
Pseudo-self compatibility (PSC) in Raphanus sativus L. is determined by modifying genes that appear to have a threshold effect. Plants that do not possess PSC when used as male or female can produce progeny with increased PSC levels. This suggests that specific combinations and numbers of genes influence PSC. Once high PSC levels are attained, epistatic gene action predominates. Selection of parents for breeding systems using self incompatibility to control fertilization should use progeny testing to determine the best self-incompatible parents.
