Abstract excerpt
Most temperate fruit crops exhibit a Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility (GSI) mechanism that prevents incompatible pollen tube growth and promotes outbreeding. In Prunus species, this system is governed by the multiallelic S-locus, which contains the S-haplotype-specific F-box (SFB) and S-RNase genes. Accurate determination of S-haplotypes is important for fruit breeding and orchard design and has traditionally...
