The evaluation of an almond collection using morphological variables and identification of self-incompatibility genotype  is useful for selecting pollinizers and for the design of crossing in almond breeding programs. In this study, important morphological traits and self-incompatibilities in 71 almond cultivars and genotypes were studied. Simple and multiplex specific PCR analyses were used in...

almond (prunus dulcis [webb] d.a. mill) is an economically important species of genus prunus (rosaceae, subfamily prunoideae). the commercial edible part of almond fruit is kernel. fertilization is essential for nut production in almond but most cultivars are self or even cross-incompatible. self-incompatibility in almond is gametophytic and controlled by a single s-locus with multiple codomina...

almond is one of the most important prunus species. most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible and some others are cross-incompatible. however, recently self-incompatible cultivars developed by breeding are available. therefore self-incompatible cultivars for pollination, fertilization and production require compatible pollen of other cultivars. in this regard the study of pollen...

self-incompatibility in almond and prunus species is an important genetic trait that prevents self-fertilization. self-incompatibility in almond is controlled gametophytically by the multiallelic s-locus. this study was done in order to identification and preliminary selection of self-compatible progenies resulted from controlled crosses in almond using specific primer sff-sfr.some important mo...

Breeding programs for horticultural tree crops focus on enhancing productivity, including developing tolerance to pests and diseases improving crop quality. Pollination services are often critical production, pollen parents can affect We do not know which produce highest quality offspring or, in self-compatible cultivars, how much of the comes from cross- versus self-pollination. quantified pro...
