Incompatibility classes and fruit set in natural populations of arctic bramble (Rubus arcticus L.) in Finland
In Finnish natural populations, arctic bramble proved uniformly self-incompatible. In vigorous and richly flowering populations, the intensity of fruit set is governed by the number of incompatibility classes present. Most non-fruiting populations contain only one incompatibility class (and most lik...
