From Topic 1
Self incompatibility and cross incompatibility

Protandry Protogyny
Male flowers mature prior to female flowers. Female flowers mature prior to male flowers.
Or, in the same flowers pollens shed before the ovules are mature.
Examples: Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) and Walnut.
Similarities
Ensure that self fertilization does not occur.

 

Self incompatibility Cross incompatibility
Power to reject its own pollen of similar genetic constituents. Power to reject pollens of different genetic constituents.
Leads to variation. Impedes the formation of variation.
Prevents inbreeding. Promotes inbreeding.
Promotes out-crossing. Prevents out-crossing.
genetically controlled by one or more multi-allelic loci.

 

Gametophytic SI (GSI) Sporophytic SI (SSI)
Determined by the pollen’s own gametophytic haploid genotype. Determined by the diploid genotype of the anther (the sporophyte) in which it was created.
This is the more common type of SI. Less frequent than GSI.
Mechanisms: 1. The RNAase mechanism, 2. The S-glycoprotein mechanism Mechanism: Up to this day, only one mechanism of SSI has been described in detail at the molecular level, in Brassica (Brassicaceae).

 

Self incompatibilty Male sterility
Power to reject its own pollen of similar genetic constituents. Situation whereby individuals of a normally hermaphrodite plant species have only functional pistil and non functional pollen (if produced).
Pollens are produced but are rejected upon pollination. Unable to produce or release pollen.
Reason: Genetically controlled one or more multi-allelic loci. Reason: Failure of formation or development of functional stamens, microspores or gametes
Can not be assayed through staining technique. Assayed through staining technique.
Similarities
Leads to heterozygosity
Leads to cross pollination

 

Self pollination Cross pollination (Allogamy)
Pollination of a flower by pollen from the same flower (autogamy) or from another flower on the same plant (geitonogamy). Occurs when pollen is delivered from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species.
Pollen and pistil have same genetic make-up. Pollen and pistil have different genetic make-up.
Increases homozygosity. Increases heterozygosity.
Impossible to happen in dioeceous plants. Must occur in dioeceous plants.
Doesn’t create variations. Creates variations.

 


From Topic 2
Male sterility systems

Cytoplasmic MS Genetic MS Cytoplasmic-Genetic MS
Governed by cytoplasmic genes. Governed by nuclear genes. Governed by interactions between cytoplasmic and nuclear genes.
Shows maternal inheritance.
Applicable where grains or fruits are not economic products i.e ornamental and vegetatively propagated crops. Applicable for both the vegetatively propagated crops and crops required for fruits or seed production. Used in commercial production of hybrid seeds in maize, sorghum and bajra.
Generally caused by recessive alleles. Caused by homozygous recessive genes in presence of sterile cytoplasm and fertility is restored by the dominant allele in presence of fertile as well as sterile cytoplasm.
Examples: Sugarcane, potato etc. Examples: Wheat, maize, barley, tomato etc. Examples: Maize, rice, sunflower etc.

From Topic 3
Heterosis breeding

Balanced heterosis Mutational heterosis Pseudo heterosis

 

Dominance hypothesis Over dominance hypothesis

 

Haploid breeding Heterosis breeding

 

Inbreeding depression Heterosis
