The mechanisms by which flowering plants choose their mating partners have interested
researchers for a long time. Recent findings on the molecular mechanisms of non-self …

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 …

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) belongs to the Rhamnaceae family and is a popular fruit tree
species with immense economic and nutritional value. Here, we report a draft genome of the …

Wolfberry Lycium, an economically important genus of the Solanaceae family, contains
approximately 80 species and shows a fragmented distribution pattern among the Northern …

The self-incompatibility (SI) system with the broadest taxonomic distribution in angiosperms
is based on multiple S-locus F-box genes (SLF s) tightly linked to an S-RNase termed type …

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) …

The molecular bases of the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system of species of the
subtribe Pyrinae (Rosaceae), such as apple and pear, have been widely studied in the last …

In Rosaceae species, two gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) mechanisms are
described, the Prunus self-recognition system and the Maleae (Malus/Pyrus/Sorbus) non …

The plant RNase T2 family is divided into two different subfamilies. S-RNases are involved
in rejection of self-pollen during the establishment of self-incompatibility in three plant …

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to identify key evolutionary transitions that
correspond with shifts in speciation and extinction rates. Stochastic character mapping has …
