Abstract The polygenic postzygotic self-incompatible system reported in borage (Borago officinalis L.) is refuted. The behaviour of pollen tubes after self- and cross-pollination, analysis of the crossability coefficient, seed set after continuous generations of self-pollination and the effects of inbreeding depression in borage were studied. Evidence of self-compatibility was established. The influence of protandry in a self-compatible system is also discussed.
