Rapid identification of apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) S alleles using sequencing-based DNA marker APPLid.

ABSTRACT: All apple cultivars harbor the trait called self-incompatibility. Self-incompatibility represents that the pistils of the flowers are not successfully fertilized with own, the same cultivar's pollens. Compatibility or incompatibility of apple flowers are determined by S alleles. For example, the most popular apple cultivar 'Fuji' possesses the S₁ and S₉ alleles (S₁S₉ ). Thus, 'Fuji' is incompatible with S₁S₉ cultivars, but is compatible with the cultivars possessing different combinations of S alleles such as S₂S₇ and S₁S₇ . Apple S alleles have been identified by performing a series of allele-specific PCR amplification
