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...

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,...

most sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) cultivars are self-incompatible and have problems of ‎fertilization and fruit set. to produce commercial crops they need compatible and suitable ‎pollinizers. the compatibility of “zarde daneshkadeh”, “protiva”, “sorati lavasan”, “haj-yosefy” ‎and “meshkin shahr” cultivars with “shoa-o-saltaneh” as seed parent studied in a randomized ‎complete block design (r...

abstract evaluation of pomological characteristics can be useful in selection of best cultivars for commercial purposes. during this project, seven cultivars of sweet cherry including five cultivars from hungary (‘stella’, ‘sunburst’, ‘germesdorf’, ‘summit’ and ‘subima’) and two control cultivars (‘cillage blamarka’ and ‘siahmashad’) were studied by completely rondomized blocks design with thre...

There has been a heated argument over self-incompatibilityof chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) among chrysanthemum breeders. In order to solve the argument, we investigated pistil receptivity, seed set, and compatible index of 24 chrysanthemum cultivars. It was found that the 24 cultivars averagely had 3.7-36.3 pollen grains germinating on stigmas at 24 hours after self-pollination throu...

sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) is considered as one of the most important temperate zone fruits worldwide. it is an economical fruit with high demand because of its early ripening fruits that enter the market early in the season. most sweet cherry cultivars are self-incompatible, not able to produce commercial fruit without being pollinated with a compatible pollinizer. in the present study, fl...

To understand the machinery underlying a tomato cultivar harboring the Hero A gene against cyst nematode using microarrays, we first analyzed tomato gene expression in response to potato cyst nematode (PCN; Globodera rostochiensis) during the early incompatible and compatible interactions at 3 and 7 days post-inoculation (dpi). Transcript levels of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and Myb-...
