A New One-Tube Reaction Assay for the Universal Determination of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) Self-(In)Compatible MGST- and S-Alleles Using Capillary Fragment Analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The sweet cherry plant (Prunus avium L.) is primarily self-incompatible, with so-called S-alleles responsible for the inability of flowers to be pollinated not only by their own pollen grains but also by pollen from other cherries having the same S-alleles. This characteristic has wide-ranging impacts on commercial growing, harvesting, and breeding. However, mutations in S-alleles as well as changes in the...
