Abstract:IntroductionThe self-incompatibility system in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) prevents fertilization with own or genetically related pollen, and is genetically determined by the multi-allelic S-locus. Therefore, determining S-alleles is crucial for plant breeding and fruit production, as it enables the selection of compatible combinations of S-genotypes for successful pollination.MethodsIn this study, S-alleles were identified in a total of 260 genotypes from the Caucasian region, the species’ center of origin… Show more
