Self-incompatibility (SI) is under genetic control and prevents inbreeding depression in angiosperms. SI mechanisms are quite complicated still poorly understood many plants. Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) belonging to the family of Theaceae, exhibits high levels heterozygosity. Uncovering molecular basis tea plant may enhance breeding simplify genomics research for whole family. The growth pollen tubes following selfing crossing was observed using fluorescence microscopy. Self-pollen grew...
Self-incompatibility (SI) prevents inbreeding depression in angiosperms. Camellia sinensis is an important cash crop, but breeding improvements and genetic studies of the plant are hindered by SI. However, SI mechanism C. remains unclear. In this study, a putative S-RNase gene (KU852488) was cloned from sinensis. The full-length cDNA CsS-RNase 1121 bp, which encodes 238 amino acids. It shares closest relationship with (ADA67883.1), self-incompatibility Citrus reticulata cultivar...
