By using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, self-incompatibility (S)-genotypes of the Korean apple cultivars were analyzed to identify their self-incompatibility relationship. S-genotypes of the cultivars were determined as ‘Hongro’, ‘Saenara’, ‘Hongso’, and ‘Hongan’, S1S3; ‘Picnic’, S1S5; ‘Gamhong’, ‘Manbok’, ‘Hwarang’, ‘Yeohong’, ‘Danhong’, and ‘Hwayoung’, S1S9; ‘Seokwang’, S3S5; ‘Honggeum’ and ‘Greenball’, S3S7; ‘Sunhong’, ‘Seohong’, ‘Chukwang’, and ‘Hwahong’, S3S9; and ‘Summer Dream’, S7S9. These results will help to select compatible pollinizers and design apple orchards.
