Self-incompatibility in woody horticultural species

  • Chapter
Genetic control of self-incompatibility and reproductive development in flowering plants

Part of the book series: Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants ((CMBP,volume 2))

Abstract

Woody horticultural species can be separated commercially into fruit and nut crops, including apple (Malus pumila), cherry (Prunus avium) and almond (Prunus dulcis), and ornamentals such as camellia (Camellia japonica), liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua) and rhododendron (Rhododendron spp). Most woody species are multiplied vegetatively, so the breeding system is generally not important for propagation. It has implications, however, regarding the economic exploitation of the plant, even though a single species may have multiple uses. The cherry, for example, may be grown as either a fruit crop or as an ornamental, depending on the cultivar. In the former, the economic product is the fruit, and pistil-pollen compatibility considerations are paramount, in contrast to the latter where the level of fertility is not important. Even complete sterility can be tolerated in vegetatively-propagated ornamentals. Breeding and improvement of the crop, for the development of new cultivars, is another area where it is essential to be familiar with the breeding system of the species. The economics of cultivation thus has important implications for self-incompatibility, as the mechanism can result in low yield capacity, and so has been selected against in horticultural species (Rowlands 1964).
