Abstract excerpt
Sporadic self-compatibility, the occasional fruit formation after otherwise incompatible pollinations, has been observed in some S12-containing genotypes of Solanum chacoense but not in others. We have sequenced this S12 allele and analyzed its expression in four different genotypes. The S12-RNase levels were generally less abundant than those of other S-RNases present in the same plants. In addition, two-fold...
