Genetics of incompatibility inCorylus avellana L
1Department of Horticulture, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA.
Abstract:
Diallele crosses of sibs and parents of 3 parental combinations demonstrated sporophytic type of incompatibility inCorylus avellana L. One gene with multiple alleles was indicated. All 6 alleles present in the 4 parental cultivars and in their progeny exhibited dominance in pollen and independent action in the pistil. Individuals homozygous for S-alleles appeared in progeny of parents having one allele in common. Reciprocal differences occurred in some crosses. The stigmatic surface is the site of the incompatibility reaction. Incompatible pollen germinated abundantly but failed to penetrate into the stigma cells.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
