Abstract excerpt
Sweet cherry shows S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility, which prevents self- and cross-fertilization between genetically related individuals. The specificity of the self-incompatible reaction is determined by two genes located in the S-locus. These encode a pistil-expressed ribonuclease (S-RNase) that inhibits self pollen tube growth, and a pollen-expressed F-box protein (SFB) that may be involved in...
