Transcriptomic analysis of pollen-pistil interactions in almond (Prunus dulcis) identifies candidate genes for components of gametophytic self-incompatibility
The cultivated almond exhibits self-incompatibility of the gametophytic type regulated by the S-locus, which is expressed in both the pistil (S-RNase) and pollen (SFB protein). Although almond cultivars are mostl...

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of pistils and anthers from self-incompatible and self-compatible almonds with the S f haplotype
Almond [Prunus dulcis (Miller) D.A. Webb] exhibits self-incompatibility of the gametophytic type, which is controlled by a locus named S with expression in pistils (S-RNase) and in pollen (SFB protein). Recent s...

Molecular and phenotypic characterization of the S-locus and determination of flowering time in new ‘Marcona’ and ‘Desmayo Largueta’-type almond (Prunus dulcis) selections
‘Marcona’ and ‘Desmayo Largueta’ are the most widely cultivated almonds in Spain, representing around 27% of the total production and 34% of the entire almond growing surface. The excellent quality of their ke...

Disruption of endosperm development: an inbreeding effect in almond (Prunus dulcis)
A homozygous self-compatible almond, originated from self-fertilization of a self-compatible genotype and producing a reasonable yield following open pollination, exhibited a very high fruit drop rate when sel...

Self-(in)compatibility of the almonds P. dulcis and P. webbii: detection and cloning of ‘wild-type S f ’ and new self-compatibility alleles encoding inactive S-RNases
Prunus dulcis, the almond, is a predominantly self-incompatible (SI) species with a gametophytic self-incompatibility system mediated by S-RNases. The economically important allele S ...

Inheritance and relationships of important agronomic traits in almond
The inheritance of 16 important agronomic traits and its relationship were studied for four years in a population of 167 almond [P. dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] seedlings obtained from a cross between the French sel...

Use of recessive homozygous genotypes to assess genetic control of kernel bitterness in almond
Bitter flavour of the almond kernel is due to the cyanoglucoside amygdalin and has been the first characteristic considered in breeding programmes. In such programmes, the seedlings from sweet-kernelled parent...

Analysis of S-RNase alleles of almond (Prunus dulcis): characterization of new sequences, resolution of synonyms and evidence of intragenic recombination
Cross-compatibility relationships in almond are controlled by a gametophytically expressed incompatibility system partly mediated by stylar RNases, of which 29 have been reported. To resolve possible synonyms ...
