Single radial immunodiffusion was used to study the self-incompatibility (S) proteins present in stigmas of two inbred lines of Brassica oleracea: a self-incompatible line and a self-compatible mutant derived from it. The genetic basis of observed quantitative differences in S proteins between the two inbreds was shown to be determined by a single gene with dosage effects. Self-pollination of individual plants with high, intermediate and low levels of S protein in the stigmas, respectively, resulted in low, intermediate and high seed set.
