Restoration to SI phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana. The Wei-1 ecotype usually has a self-compatible phenotype (formation of large siliques and many seeds). The reason for the SC phenotype Wei-1 is a gene inversion within the 2nd exon of SP11, although SRK is functional. When transformed to restore an active SP11, the transformants showed the self-incompatible phenotype (formation of small siliques and no seeds).
