Finding a Compatible Partner: Self-Incompatibility in European Pear (Pyrus communis); Molecular Control, Genetic Determination, and Impact on Fertilization and Fruit Set

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Pyrus species display a gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system that actively prevents fertilization by self-pollen. The GSI mechanism in Pyrus is genetically controlled by a single locus, i.e., the S-locus, which includes at least two polymorphic

Selecting an appropriate method for expressing S locus F-box-S2 recombinant protein

Biotechnology Reports, 2017
A single locus (S locus) including at least two linked genes (female and male determinants) genetically controls the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) in apple, which has evolved to avoid self-fertilization.

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

S-Genotype Profiles of Turkish Apricot Germplasm

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2016
In flowering plants, gametophytic self-incompatibility, controlled by a single locus with several allelic variants, is one of the major problems preventing self-fertilization.

The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3460-3474, June 2026.
Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects

Molecular Research Progress on Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility in Rosaceae Species

Horticulturae
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a complex mechanism that prevents plants from self-fertilizing to preserve and promote genetic variability. The angiosperm species have developed two different SI systems, the sporophytic (SSI) and the gametophytic (GSI ...

Factors to affect inbred beet plants while developing material for linear selection

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019
Considering its capacities, the generative system of Beta vulgaris L. is regarded as highly productive. While inbreeding, the reproductive potential of cross-pollinated beet plants with gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) changes significantly and is ...

Characterization of one new non-S-RNase of Armeniaca cathayana

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2019
Armeniaca cathayana, a new species described in 2010, belongs to gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system which is under S-allele control. One new non-S-ribonuclease (non-S-RNase) was found in A. cathayana through comparing its nucleotide and amino

Self‐compatibility in Solanum malmeanum (Solanaceae): Evolutionary and breeding impacts for a novel source of genetic variation in diploid potatoes

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively
