Intraspecific unilateral incompatibility in Vicia faba L
1Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt.
Abstract:
Unilateral incompatibility was discovered when crossing was attempted between different self-compatible types and subspecies of V. faba. Crossing in the direction female less self-fertile x male more self-fertile failed, whereas the reciprocal-crossing succeeded. Unilateral incompatibility developed with the evolution of less fertile and large seeded field bean types. How a cross fertilized (and self-incompatible) system may develop from a self fertilized one is discussed.The unilateral incompatibility in V. faba and other plant species is compared. The two-power competition hypothesis can explain all kinds of unilateral incompatibility reported so far in the literature. Breeding field beans for improved self-fertility is discussed.

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...
