Understanding the molecular underpinnings of evolutionary adaptations is a central focus of
modern evolutionary biology. Recent studies have uncovered a panoply of complex …

Most Prunus fruit tree species exhibit a homomorphic gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI)
system, in which specificity of self/nonself-recognition is controlled by products encoded …

Supergenes are genetic architectures associated with discrete and concerted variation in
multiple traits. It has long been suggested that supergenes control these complex …

Abstract Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.), a member of the Plantaginaceae family, is an
important model for plant genetics and molecular studies on plant growth and development …

Supergenes, clusters of tightly linked genes, play a key role in the evolution of complex
adaptive variation [1, 2]. Although supergenes have been identified in many species, we …

The genus Antirrhinum has been used as a model to study self-incompatibility extensively.
The multi-allelic S-locus, carrying a pistil S-RNase and dozens of S-locus F-box (SLF) …

Intersubspecific hybrid sterility is a common form of reproductive isolation in rice (Oryza
sativa L.), which significantly hampers the utilization of heterosis between indica and …

Prunus fruit tree species exhibit S-ribonuclease (S-RNase)-based gametophytic self-
incompatibility (GSI). This system is also present in the families Plantaginaceae and …

Self‐incompatibility in Petunia is controlled by the polymorphic S‐locus, which contains S‐
RNase encoding the pistil determinant and 16–20 S‐locus F‐box (SLF) genes collectively …

High-density genetic maps were constructed for loci involved in nuclear male sterility (NMS1-
locus) and sporophytic self-incompatibility (S-locus) in chicory (Cichorium intybus L.). The …
