Abstract excerpt
Cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), a self-compatible species, evolved from self-incompatible (SI) species in the genus Lycopersicon following a breakdown of the self-incompatibility system. In order to elucidate the molecular basis of this breakdown in L. esculentum, we first analysed the stylar proteins with an in-gel assay for ribonuclease activity and 2D-PAGE. No S-RNase protein or its activity was...
