Temporal changes in the Swiss flora: implications for flower-visiting insects
BackgroundLocal floristic diversity has massively decreased during the twentieth century in Central Europe even though in the 1990s diversity began...

Map** Solanum chacoense mediated Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) resistance in a self-compatible F2 diploid population
Key messageA major QTL on chromosome 2 associated with leptine biosynthesis and Colorado potato beetle resistance was identified in a diploid S....

Barriers to Interspecific Hybridization Between Cucurbita pepo L. and Cucurbita moschata Duch.
Fertilization barriers often hinder the introgression of desired traits of interest in interspecific hybridization. In present study, the...

Multiple origins of self-compatible species Fagopyrum homotropicum from heterostylous self-incompatible wild common buckwheat F. esculentum subsp. ancestrale revealed by nucleotide sequence analyses of EST regions
In order to clarify the origin of the evolutionary transition from self-incompatibility (SI) to self-compatibility (SC), genetic relationships among...

Evaluation of Self-Incompatibility of Some Wild Grown Almond Genotypes in Turkey
Almond in general shows self-incompatibility (SI) controlled by the S‑allele. Self-compatible (SC or Sf) cultivars have an advantage in breeding...

Reproductive Behaviour of New European Plum Cultivars ‘Lana’, ‘Divna’ and ‘Petra’
The development of European plum ( Prunus domestica L.) cultivars is a crucial part of the 70-year-long tradition of breeding work on temperate zone...

A semi in vivo pollination technique to assess the level of gametophytic self-incompatibility and pollen tube growth in pear (Pyrus communis L.)
Key messageWe describe a semi in vivo pollination technique to determine the compatibility relation between different pear cultivars. This assay...

Study on Fruitset and Pollen-Compatibility Status in Sweet Cherry (Prunus avuim L.) Cultivars
Prunus avium L. is one of the most important temperate zone fruits in the world. Most of the cherry cultivars always have difficulties of...

Assessing the Contribution of Sli to Self-Compatibility in North American Diploid Potato Germplasm Using KASP™ Markers
Diploid hybrid potato variety development requires the introduction of reliably transmitted self-compatibility (SC) to largely self-incompatible...

Genomic Designing of New Plum Pox Virus Resistant Plumcot [Prunus Salicina Lindl. x Prunus Armeniaca L.] Varieties Through Interspecific Hybridization
The plumcot is an interspecific hybrid between Japanese plum species (Prunus salicina Lindl) and apricot species (Prunus armeniaca L.), which...

Stamen curvature and temporal flower closure assure reproductive success in an early-spring-flowering perennial in the cold desert of Middle Asia
Floral organ movements that ensure autonomous selfing are likely to occur in species that grow in habitats with pollinator scarcity and/or an...

Wild and Rare Self-Incompatibility Allele S17 Found in 24 Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) Cultivars
The pollination of self-incompatible diploid sweet cherry is determined by the S-locus alleles. We resolved the S-alleles of 50 sweet cherry...

Molecular characteristics of S-RNase alleles as the determinant of self-incompatibility in the style of Fragaria viridis
Strawberry ( Fragaria spp.) is a member of the Rosoideae subfamily in the family Rosaceae. The self-incompatibility (SI) of some diploid species is a...

Reproductive biology as a tool to elucidate taxonomic delimitation: How different can two highly specialized subspecies of Parodia haselbergii (cactaceae) be?
Reproductive isolation is one of the mechanisms of speciation. The two currently accepted subspecies of Parodia haselbergii ( P. haselbergii subsp. haselbergii...

Vivid COVID-19 LAMP is an ultrasensitive, quadruplexed test using LNA-modified primers and a zinc ion and 5-Br-PAPS colorimetric detection system
Sensitive and rapid point-of-care assays have been crucial in the global response to SARS-CoV-2. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has...

Generation of self-compatible diploid potato by knockout of S-RNase
Re-domestication of potato into an inbred line-based diploid crop propagated by seed represents a promising alternative to traditional clonal...
-
Reproductive biology of Malpighiaceae: How much do we know?
The species of the family Malpighiaceae are mainly diversified in the Neotropical Region as a consequence of a specialized pollination system. Due to...

The Complete Sequence of the Almond Genome
Almond genome has been sequenced, and this has been possible thanks to next generation sequencing technologies like Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore...

Observations on the pollination and breeding systems of two Corybas species (Diurideae; Orchidaceae) by fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae) in southwestern Yunnan, China
Modes of floral presentation in some angiosperms attract flies that eat and/or oviposit on seasonal fruiting bodies of fungi. Mushroom mimesis by...

Caspase-like proteases and the phytohormone cytokinin as determinants of S-RNAse–based self-incompatibility–induced PCD in Petunia hybrida L.
S-RNAse–based self-incompatibility (SI) in petunia ( Petunia hybrida L.) is a self-/non-self-recognition system underlying the pistil rejection of...
