Late-acting self-incompatibility in Eucalyptus

Eucalypt seed orchards provide seed for plantation forestry and produce both good quality, outcrossed seed and inbred, selfed seed. Pound et al. (pp. 613-620) examine early stages of ovule development in self-incompatible Eucalyptus globulus trees following self- and cross-pollinations to identify the self-incompatibility mechanism. A method for identifying self-incompatible trees is proposed.
