Synergistic approach of PCR-based fragment length analysis and amplicon deep sequencing reveals rich diversity of S-alleles in sweet cherries from the Caucasian region of origin

IntroductionThe self-incompatibility system in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) prevents fertilization with own or genetically related pollen, and is genetically determined by the multi-allelic S-locus. Therefore, determining S-alleles is crucial for plant breeding and fruit production, as it enables...
