Characterization of the S-locus region of almond (Prunus dulcis): analysis of a somaclonal mutant and a cosmid contig for an S haplotype.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Almond has a self-incompatibility system that is controlled by an S locus consisting of the S-RNase gene and an unidentified "pollen S gene." An almond cultivar "Jeffries," a somaclonal mutant of "Nonpareil" (S(c)S(d)), has a dysfunctional S(c) haplotype both in pistil and pollen. Immunoblot and genomic Southern blot analyses detected no S(c) haplotype-specific signal in Jeffries. Southern blot showed that Jeffries has an extra copy of the S(d) haplotype. These results indicate that at least two mutations had occurred to generate Jeffries: (1) deletion of the S(c) haplotype and (2) duplication of the S(d) haplotype. To analyze the extent of the deletion in Jeffries and gain insight into the physical limit of the S locus region, approximately 200 kbp of a cosmid contig for the S(c) haplotype was constructed. Genomic Southern blot analyses showed that the deletion in Jeffries extends beyond the region covered by the contig. Most cosmid end probes, except those near the S(c)-RNase gene, cross-hybridized with DNA fragments from different S haplotypes. This suggests that regions away from the S(c)-RNase gene can recombine between different S haplotypes, implying that the cosmid contig extends to the borders of the S locus.

Assessment of the Genetic Diversity of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Using Microsatellite Markers and Morphological Traits
The genetic diversity among 56 almond (Prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. Analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. Out of 35 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. R...
متن کاملStudy of Compatibility Relationships Among Some Almond Cultivars and Genotypes Using of SAlleles Identification
Almond (Prunus dulcis L.) is one of the most important nut crops in Iran. Most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible. However, research on S-alleles indicates that it is very efficient in cultivar selection. Selfincompatibility in almond is gametophytic and controlled by a single S-locus with multiple codominant alleles. In this study, compatibility relationships among cultivars,...

Random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP) is a PCR-based marker which uses a combination of two classes of markers: Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) markers. RAMP has been demonstrated to be a potentially valuable molecular marker for the study of genetic relationships in cultivated plant species. The objective of this study was to optimize the...
متن کاملIdentification of Self- incompatibility Alleles in Some Almond Genotypes by Degenerate S-RNase Primers
The almond, Prunus dulcis Miller which belongs to Rosaceae family, is one of the most important commercial and oldest cultivated tree nut crops. Almonds are classified as a ‘nut’ in which the edible seed is the commercial product. Therefore, pollination and fertilization are necessary in almond. The characteristic of cultivated almond to express gametophytic self- incompatibility discourages se...
