Allogamous grasses exhibit an effective two-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI)
system, limiting the range of breeding techniques applicable for cultivar development …

Background Self-incompatibility (SI) systems prevent self-fertilization in several species of
Poaceae, many of which are economically important forage, bioenergy and turf grasses. Self …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism preventing self-pollination in~ 40% of plant
species. Two multiallelic loci, called S and Z, control the gametophytic SI system of the grass …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a mechanism that many flowering plants employ to prevent
fertilisation by self-and self-like pollen ensuring heterozygosity and hybrid vigour. Although a …

Key message A self-fertility locus was fine mapped to a 1.6 cM region on linkage group 5 in
a perennial ryegrass population. This locus was the main determinant of pollen self …

Background Self-incompatibility (SI) is a physiological mechanism that many flowering
plants employ to prevent self-fertilization and maintain heterozygosity. In the grass family this …

Abstract Background Goji (Lycium barbarum L.) is a perennial deciduous shrub widely
distributed in arid and semiarid regions of Northwest China. It is highly valued for its …

Perennial ryegrass is an important turf and forage grass in temperate regions worldwide.
Limited genetic gains have been made with current breeding strategies compared with other …

A mutation causing self‐fertility (SF) in perennial ryegrass was studied at the tetraploid level.
The aim of this work was to determine a) whether SF remains functional in a tetraploid …

Selection of winter self-pollinated plants with short to medium stem height was initiated in 15
cultivated rye populations. About 8.8% seed set per selfed spike was registered in the first …
