The mechanisms by which flowering plants choose their mating partners have interested
researchers for a long time. Recent findings on the molecular mechanisms of non-self …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …

Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants based on
specific discrimination between self-and non-self pollen. Since this trait promotes …

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 (SI) is a widespread prezygotic mechanism for flowering plants to avoid
inbreeding depression and promote genetic diversity. Citrus has an S‐RNase‐based SI …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a prezygotic mechanism that prevents self-pollination in flowering
plants by distinguishing between nonself-and self-pollen. It controls sexual reproduction by …

The reproductive behavior of Japanese plum has not been studied as in other Prunus
species. Thus, a number of cultivars are particularly prone to erratic fruit set showing low …

During the last decade, S-genoty** has been extensively investigated in fruit tree crops
such as those belonging to the Prunus genus, including plums. In plums, S-allele ty** has …

Mutation is a source of genetic diversity widely used in breeding programs for the acquisition
of agronomically interesting characters in commercial varieties of the Prunus species, as …

The domesticated almond [Prunus dulcis (L.) Batsch] and peach [P. persica (Mill.) DA Webb]
originated on opposite sides of Asia and were independently domesticated∼ 5000 yr ago …
