Self- and Cross-Incompatibility and General Seed Setting Studies with Zigzag Clover, Trifolium medium L.¹

Forty-two noninbred zigzag clover plants were evaluated for self-compatibility and all were highly self-incompatible. Variation for cross-compatibility of F₁ plants from self-incompatible parents was continuous. The results indicate that the inheritance of self- and cross-incompatibility in zigzag clover is complex. A highly significant difference was found among 64 plants under field conditions for open-pollination seed set. Damage due to the clover seed chalcid reduced seed set considerably.
