Abstract

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) self-incompatibility is important for heterosis. However, the seed production of elite hybrid cannot be facilitated by honey bees due to the cross-incompatibility of the two parents. In this study, the self-compatibility of 58 winter cabbage inbred lines was identified by open-flower self-pollination (OS) and molecular techniques. Based on the NCBI database, a new class I S-haplotype-specific marker, PKC6F/PKC6R, was developed. Verification analyses revealed 9 different S-haplotypes in the 58 cabbage inbred lines; of these lines, 46 and 12 belonged to class I (S6, S7, S12, S14, S33, S45, S51, S68) and class II (S15) S-haplotypes, respectively. The coincidence rate between the self-compatibility index and S-haplotype was 91%. This study developed a Tri-Primer-PCR amplification method to rapidly select plants with specific S-haplotypes in biased segregated S-locus populations. Furthermore, it established an S-haplotype identification system based on these nine S-haplotypes. To overcome parental cross-incompatibility (18-503 and 18-512), an inbred line (18-2169) with the S15 haplotype was selected from the sister lines of self-incompatible 18-512 (S68, class I S-haplotype). The inbred line (18-2169) showed self-compatibility and cross-compatibility with 18-503. This study provides guidance for self-compatibility breeding in cabbage and predicts parental cross-incompatibility in elite combinations.
