Abstract excerpt
Apple trees display gametophytic self-incompatibility which is controlled by a series of polymorphic S-alleles. To resolve the discrepancies in S-allele assignment that appeared in the literature, we have re-examined the identity of S-alleles known from domestic apple cultivars. Upon an alignment of S-allele nucleotide sequences, we designed allele-specific primer pairs to selectively amplify a single S-allele...
