The invention provides constructs comprising: a) an expression cassette for disrupting self-incompatibility (SI), b) an expression cassette for disrupting the development of viable pollen, and c) an expression cassette for identifying seed carrying the genetic construct. The invention provides plants and plant parts comprising such constructs. The invention further provides methods for producing non-transgenic, self-incompatible, inbred seed and plants, plants, and inbred seed and plants produced by such methods. The invention also provides methods for producing an F1 hybrid seed by crossing such non-transgenic, self-incompatible, inbred plants with other plants which may also be non-transgenic, self-incompatible, inbred plants of the invention. The invention further provides F1 hybrid seed produced by the methods, and F1 hybrid plants grown from the seed.
