Identification of a Novel SBP1-Containing SCFSFB Complex in Wild Dwarf Almond (Prunus tenella)

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI), in which specificities of pistil and pollen are determined by S-RNase and the S locus F-box protein, respectively, has been discovered in the Solanaceae, Plantaginaceae, and Rosaceae families, but ...

Artificial Mutations in the Nuclear Gene Encoding Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase Restore Pollen Fertility in Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Tomato

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1414-1427, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility ...

Inheritance of S-genotypes in Paviot × Kabaasi apricot F1 progenies

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016
Self-incompatibility plays an important role in the fertilization of fruit species such as apricot. Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) shows gametophytic self-incompatibility, which is controlled by a multi-allelic S-locus.

Temperature‐dependent pollinator‐mediated selection on floral thermoregulation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1716-1726, February 2026.
Summary The thermal environment is one of the most pervasive agents of selection. Most plants cannot choose their microclimate, so understanding how they cope with thermal variability is of critical concern. Several floral traits can modify the floral thermal microenvironment, which may alleviate negative impacts of thermal extremes on gametophytes and

Developing an understanding of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) Bolli) to support breeding efforts

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Elderberries (Sambucus spp.) have been valued as food and medicine around the world for millennia. Elderberry products are experiencing an increase in demand as ongoing research substantiates their putative health benefits. European elderberries (Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra) are an established industry in Europe and are often imported into the

Determination of S-alleles in Iranian sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) using consensus primers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)
Sour cherry is a tetraploid species, and gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) operates in this species in the same way as in other stone fruit trees. However, while self-compatibility is most common in sour cherry and self-compatibility (SC) genotypes ...

Control of gametophytic self-incompatibility in the African wild rice

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract Self-incompatibility (SI) in the grass family (Poaceae) is controlled by a gametophytic two-locus system (S and Z). Recent studies have revealed several genes linked to the S and Z loci, but their roles remain largely unclear. Here, we discover that OlS1-HPS10 and OlS1-DUF247-1 control self-incompatibility of African wild rice (Oryza ...

Flowering synchrony and cultivar compatibility as key factors for optimising sweet cherry pollination and production

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 229-245, January 2026.
Effective pollination is crucial for sweet cherry production, as 82% of its yield depends on animal pollination. However, factors like flower phenology and cultivar compatibility are often overlooked in orchard management. Our study shows that flower phenology is a key aspect to determine suitable cultivars, and that pollen tube growth is a practical ...

Fine Characterization of the Contact Zones of Mazzaella laminarioides in the Southeastern Pacific Using Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study investigates the genetic structure of Mazzaella laminarioides, an ecologically and economically important species from the rocky coast of Chile. Using more accurate sampling and a set of microsatellite, nuclear, and mitochondrial markers, we were able to identify with high resolution the contact zones between the previously described ...
