| Abstract:
Japanese apricot (Prunus meme) exhibits the S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility system, as do other self-incompatible Prunus species. Although there are self-compatible (SC) and self-incompatible (SI) cultivars in Japanese apricot, SC ones have horticultural advantage over SI ones. As almost all of the self-compatible cultivars have the Sf haplotype, both Sf-RNase and SFBf can be used as molecular markers for the Sf haplotype and thus for SC in Japanese apricot. This paper describes molecular markers for the Sf haplotype in Japanese apricot. | |
