In self-incompatible plants, the recognition and subsequent rejection of self-related pollen by the stigma during pollination are genetically controlled by haplotypes of the S-locus complex. Here, 2 self-compatible Brassica strains (B. oleracea BO479 and B. campestris) were identified that carried non-functional S haplotypes and that did not express transcripts of SRK, an S-locus gene that encodes a receptor-like protein kinase.
