Abstract:Many species of the genus Prunus exhibit the gametophytic self-incompatibility system, governed by the S-locus, that encode S-Ribonucleases in the pistil, and are able to degrade the RNA of the pollen tubes when the S-haplotypes of both gametophytes are the same, preventing the fertilization of the oosphere. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize the S-alleles of Japanese Plum genotypes to verify groups of reproductive compatibility. Isolation, amplification and DNA sequencing were perfor… Show more
