Sweet cherries are generally self-incompatible, caused by a gametophytic self-
incompatibility system. Two genetic factors (S-alleles) determine the fertility of sweet cherry …

The genetic diversity and relationships among 47 pear cultivars and genotypes (Pyrus spp.),

This work reports the transferability and polymorphism of previously reported SSRs in 10
Prunus species. The availability of a large number of SSRs in the genus Prunus makes …

Eggplant is one of the most important vegetables worldwide. Prickles on the leaves, stems
and fruit calyxes of eggplant may cause difficulties during cultivation, harvesting and …

Three previously described highly polymorphic SSR (microsatellite) primer pairs were tested
on 126 sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) accessions to adapt a fast, reliable method for …

The objective of our study was the alignment of microsatellite or simple sequence repeat
(SSR) marker data across germplasm collections of cherry within Europe. Through the …

Abstract Self-incompatibility in Prunus (Rosaceae) species, such as sweet cherry, is
controlled by a multiallelic locus (S), in which two tightly linked genes, S-RNase and SFB (S …

Plant domestication is the process of adapting plants to human use by selecting specific
traits. The selection process often involves the modification of some components of the plant …
