Abstract excerpt
Wild potato species have a gametophytic self-incompatibility system controlled by a single multiallelic S locus. In the style, the S-RNase gene codes for an allele-specific ribonuclease that is involved in the rejection of pollen that carries the same S haplotype. This gene has 5 conserved regions (C1-C5) and highly variable regions outside of these areas that play a role in S-RNase allele specificity. In this...
