Summary
Investigation of the genetic basis of self-incompatibility in F1 families of L. rigidum Gaud, and L. multiflorum L. indicated the involvement of at least three multiallelic loci. Pollen control was found to be gametophytically determined. The results indicate that the genetic control of self-incompatibility is similar in L. rigidum and L. multiflorum although different from the majority of self-incompatible grass species.
