It is important to couple phenotypic analysis with genetic diversity for germplasm
conservation in gene bank collections. The use of molecular markers supports the study of …

The transition from self-incompatibility (SI) to self-compatibility (SC) is regarded as one of the
most prevalent transitions in Angiosperm evolution, having profound impacts on the genetic …

The gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system in Rosaceae has been proposed to be
controlled by two genes located in the S-locusan S-RNase and a recently described pollen …

Tetraploid sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) exhibits a genotype-dependent loss of
gametophytic self-incompatibility that is caused by the accumulation of non-functional S …

Self-compatibility in a naturally self-incompatible species like sweet cherry is a highly
interesting trait for breeding purposes and a powerful tool with which to investigate the basis …

The self‐incompatibility (S) genotypes of a collection of 65 Belgian accessions of wild
cherry, selected within two populations and planted in a seed orchard, were determined …

In plant populations exhibiting gametophytic self-incompatibility, individuals harbouring rare
S alleles are likely to have a reproductive advantage over individuals having more common …

Gametophytic self‐incompatibility, governed by the S‐locus, operates in sweet cherry. The
knowledge of the S‐genotype of sweet cherry cultivars is therefore essential to establish …

Sweet cherries are self‐incompatible because of a gametophytic self‐incompatibility system.
S alleles in the style and pollen determine the crossing relationships. Knowledge of the S …

Tetraploid sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) exhibits gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI)
whereby the specificity of self-pollen rejection is controlled by alleles of the stylar and pollen …
