Abstract Self-incompatible, non-clonal plant species are especially dependent on the activity of flower visitors for seed production. Therefore, populations these plants vulnerable to a reduced visitation rates, but also increased isolation by extinction local populations. To study how Centaurea scabiosa , self-incompatible, bee-pollinated herb changed over time in region Bonn, we collected his...

most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

The selection of desirable genotypes with recessive characteristics, such as self-incompatible plants, is often difficult or even impossible and represents a crucial barrier in accelerating the breeding process. Molecular approaches and selection based on molecular markers can allow breeders to overcome this limitation. The use of self-incompatibility is an alternative in hybrid breeding of oil...
