Identification of S-Allele Based Self-incompatibility of Turkish Pear Gene Resources

Self-incompatibility is considered to be a growth limiting factor in fruit plants. In species with hermaphrodite flowers, S-locus (S-allele) has been accepted control self-incompatibility, and the genetic of this locus provided by multiple genes (alleles). Pear (Pyrus communis L.) belongs Pomoideae from Rosaceae family found have great potential terms ecological features Turkey. To protect these cultivation features, national garden collections established across country Atatürk Horticultural Central Research Institute – Yalova collection as bank. Identification different (fruit quality, stress tolerance, grafting incompatibility etc.) importance for its utilization pear breeding cultivation. However, our knowledge, not scanned self-incompatibility trait. current study, PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)-based amplification S-allele regions causing genotypes obtained gene bank was investigated molecular biological methods based on comparison amplified products. The findings research will enable classification materials analyzed material likely used studies well
