The posttranslational addition of ubiquitin (Ub) helps control the half-life, localization, and
action of many intracellular plant proteins. A primary function is the degradation of …

Background S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) occurs in the Solanaceae, Rosaceae
and Plantaginaceae. In all three families, compatibility is controlled by a polymorphic S …

Self-incompatibility in flowering plants prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing to
generate genetic diversity. In Solanaceae, a multiallelic gene, S-locus F-box (SLF), was …

Potato breeding can be redirected to a diploid inbred/F1 hybrid variety breeding strategy if
self-compatibility can be introduced into diploid germplasm. However, the majority of diploid …

Most Prunus fruit tree species exhibit a homomorphic gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI)
system, in which specificity of self/nonself-recognition is controlled by products encoded …

Leaf senescence, being the final developmental stage of the leaf, signifies the transition from
a mature, photosynthetically active organ to the attenuation of said function and eventual …

RNase T2 enzymes are conserved in most eukaryotic genomes, and expression patterns
and phylogenetic analyses suggest that they may carry out an important housekeeping role …

Breakdown of self‐incompatibility occurs repeatedly in flowering plants with important
evolutionary consequences. In plant families in which self‐incompatibility is mediated by S …

Main conclusion Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technology improves the quality of
potato as a food crop and enables its use as both a model plant in fundamental research …

The molecular bases of the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system of species of the
subtribe Pyrinae (Rosaceae), such as apple and pear, have been widely studied in the last …
