Development of an HRMA-Based Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) Approach for Cost-Effective Genotyping of S and M Loci Controlling Self-Compatibility in Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.).

Abstract excerpt

The apricot species is characterized by a gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system. While GSI is one of the most efficient mechanisms to prevent self-fertilization and increase genetic variability, it represents a limiting factor for fruit production in the orchards. Compatibility among apricot cultivars was usually assessed by either field pollination experiments or by histochemical evaluation of in vitro...
