This study investigated a special tomato inbred line 85-6 with the parthenocarpy and self-incompatibility. Through the observation of flower appearance, pollen viability and ovule development, 85-6 was found with normal flower structure, pollen activity and ovule development, thus ruling out the abortion of pistil or stamen. Based on the fertility variations of self-pollination, and artificially-assisted self-pollination and hybridization experiments at different temperature, 85-6 showed self-incompatibility under normal temperature conditions, and produced seedless fruit after self-pollination, as well as normal hybrid offspring whenever serving as male or female parents. Under temperature stress (daily average temperature <10 ℃ or >35 ℃) at flowering stage, 85-6 became complete pollination and fertilization to obtain seeded fruits, and its offspring seeds showed 29.75% seed germination rate. After emasculation at the bud stage, whenever under normal or lower temperature conditions, t85-6 was able to produce seedless fruit, thus indicating the characteristics of parthenocarpy. Collectively, the material of 85-6, as a newly-identified germplasm showing the parthenocarpy and self-incompatibility, provided a basis for the parthenocarpy and self-incompatibility breeding, and further deciphering the functional mechanisms.
