| characterization and mapping of non-s gametophytic self-compatibility in sweet cherry (prunus avium l.). | self-incompatibility in prunus (rosaceae) species, such as sweet cherry, is controlled by a multiallelic locus (s), in which two tightly linked genes, s-rnase and sfb (s haplotype-specific f-box), determine the specificity of the pollen and the style. fertilization in these species occurs only if the s-specificities expressed in the pollen and the pistils are different. however, modifier genes have been proposed to be necessary for a full manifestation of the self-incompatibility response. 'cris ... | 2011 | 21127024 |

| cloning and expression analysis of cdnas for aba 8'-hydroxylase during sweet cherry fruit maturation and under stress conditions. | abscisic acid (aba) plays a key role in various aspects of plant growth and development, including adaptation to environmental stress and fruit maturation in sweet cherry fruit. in higher plants, the level of aba is determined by synthesis and catabolism. in order to gain insight into aba synthesis and catabolism in sweet cherry fruit during maturation and under stress conditions, four cdnas of paccyp707a1 -paccyp707a4 for 8'-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in the oxidative catabolism of aba, and one ... | 2010 | 20728961 |
| population structure and genetic bottleneck in sweet cherry estimated with ssrs and the gametophytic self-incompatibility locus. | domestication and breeding involve the selection of particular phenotypes, limiting the genomic diversity of the population and creating a bottleneck. these effects can be precisely estimated when the location of domestication is established. few analyses have focused on understanding the genetic consequences of domestication and breeding in fruit trees. in this study, we aimed to analyse genetic structure and changes in the diversity in sweet cherry prunus avium l. | 2010 | 20727153 |
| self-compatibility in 'cristobalina' sweet cherry is not associated with duplications or modified transcription levels of s-locus genes. | sweet cherry shows s-rnase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility, which prevents self- and cross-fertilization between genetically related individuals. the specificity of the self-incompatible reaction is determined by two genes located in the s-locus. these encode a pistil-expressed ribonuclease (s-rnase) that inhibits self pollen tube growth, and a pollen-expressed f-box protein (sfb) that may be involved in the cytotoxicity of self-s-rnases. initial genetic and pollination studies in a self ... | 2010 | 20411390 |
| sweet cherry pomological and biochemical characteristics influenced by rootstock. | fruits of lapins sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) from 12-year-old trees on different rootstocks (f 12/1, maxma 14, piku 1, edabriz, gisela 5, gisela 195/20, weiroot 13, weiroot 158, and weiroot 72) were analyzed for pomological (fruit weight, % flesh of fruit weight, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, and firmness) and biochemical parameters (individual sugars, organic acids, and phenolic compounds) considering yield. for the first time, two procyanidins have been identified in sweet che ... | 2010 | 20337477 |
| effect of prunus avium roots on river bank strong. | a pulling effect by side roots is one way in which roots help to side in-plane strong of a little depth soil mass. in contrast to the effect of vertically-enlarge roots, whereby soil is strengthened by an increase in its shear strength, the pulling effect strengthens the soil by increasing the tensile strength of the rooted soil zone. to verify whether or not a pulling effect exists in the root system of prunus avium in the roudsar, north iran and to study the importance and size of this effect, ... | 2008 | 18819551 |
| influence of genotype-temperature interaction on pollen performance. | pollen competition and selection have significant evolutionary consequences, but very little is known about how they can be modulated. we have examined in cherry (prunus avium l.) how pollen performance is affected by the genotype of the pollen and by the environmental conditions under which it grows, namely the pistilar tissue and temperature. the different pollen donor genotypes tested in this work differed in their behaviour both in vitro and in vivo and this behaviour was modulated depending ... | 2005 | 16313462 |
| basic rnases of wild almond (prunus webbii): cloning and characterization of six new s-rnase and one "non-s rnase" genes. | in order to investigate the s-rnase allele structure of a prunus webbii population from the montenegrin region of the balkans, we analyzed 10 prunus webbii accessions. we detected 10 different s-rnase allelic variants and obtained the nucleotide sequences for six s-rnases. the blast analysis showed that these six sequences were new prunus webbii s-rnase alleles. it also revealed that one of sequenced alleles, s(9)-rnase, coded for an amino acid sequence identical to that for prunus dulcis s(14)- ... | 2009 | 18778875 |
| genetic and molecular characterization of three novel s-haplotypes in sour cherry (prunus cerasus l.). | tetraploid sour cherry (prunus cerasus l.) exhibits gametophytic self-incompatibility (gsi) whereby the specificity of self-pollen rejection is controlled by alleles of the stylar and pollen specificity genes, s-rnase and sfb (s haplotype-specific f-box protein gene), respectively. as sour cherry selections can be either self-compatible (sc) or self-incompatible (si), polyploidy per se does not result in sc. instead the genotype-dependent loss of si in sour cherry is due to the accumulation of n ... | 2008 | 18617504 |
| [characteristics of urea 15n absorption, allocation, and utilization by sweet-cherry (prunus avium l.)]. | with five-year old 'zaodaguo' sweet-cherry (prunus avium l.) as test material, this paper studied the characteristics of its urea 15n absorption, allocation, and utilization when applied before bud-break. the results showed that the ndff of different organs increased gradually with time, and was higher in fine roots and storage organs at full-blooming stage. at fruit core-hardening stage, the ndff of long shoots and leaves increased quickly, reaching to 0.72% and 0.59% , respectively. from fruit ... | 2008 | 18533545 |
| rootstock-induced dwarfing in cherries is caused by differential cessation of terminal meristem growth and is triggered by rootstock-specific gene regulation. | use of dwarfing rootstocks has dramatically increased the profitability of fruit production by reducing production costs, reduced chemical use and higher density plantings. despite the importance of rootstock-induced dwarfing, the cause of this phenomenon is not known. using two commercially available graft combinations consisting of a sweet cherry scion, 'bing', on a dwarfing rootstock (gi5) or a semi-vigorous rootstock (gi6), we discovered that the difference in grafted tree height was due to ... | 2009 | 19429629 |
| in vitro bioavailability of phenolic compounds from five cultivars of frozen sweet cherries (prunus avium l.). | the bioavailability of phenolic compounds from five cultivars of frozen sweet cherries was assessed by a digestion process involving pepsin-hcl digestion (to simulate gastric digestion) and pancreatin digestion with bile salts (to simulate small intestine conditions) and dialyzed to assess serum- and colon-available fractions. after pepsin digestion, the % recovery of total phenolics, relative to the original starting material, increased, whereas the % anthocyanins did not change. following panc ... | 2008 | 18459792 |
| mechanical stimuli regulate the allocation of biomass in trees: demonstration with young prunus avium trees. | plastic tree-shelters are increasingly used to protect tree seedlings against browsing animals and herbicide drifts. the biomass allocation in young seedlings of deciduous trees is highly disturbed by common plastic tree-shelters, resulting in poor root systems and reduced diameter growth of the trunk. the shelters have been improved by creating chimney-effect ventilation with holes drilled at the bottom, resulting in stimulated trunk diameter growth, but the root deficit has remained unchanged. ... | 2008 | 18448448 |
| unequal allelic frequencies at the self-incompatibility locus within local populations of prunus avium l.: an effect of population structure? | in this paper, we investigated the genetic structure and distribution of allelic frequencies at the gametophytic self-incompatibility locus in three populations of prunus avium l. in line with theoretical predictions under balancing selection, genetic structure at the self-incompatibility locus was almost three times lower than at seven unlinked microsatellites. furthermore, we found that s-allele frequencies in wild cherry populations departed significantly from the expected isoplethic distribu ... | 2008 | 18284513 |
| a new self-compatibility haplotype in the sweet cherry 'kronio', s5', attributable to a pollen-part mutation in the sfb gene. | 'kronio' is a sicilian cultivar of sweet cherry (prunus avium), nominally with the incompatibility genotype s(5)s(6), that is reported to be naturally self-compatible. in this work the cause of its self-compatibility was investigated. test selfing confirmed self-compatibility and provided embryos for analysis; pcr with consensus primers designed to amplify s-rnase and sfb alleles showed that the embryos were of two types, s(5)s(5) and s(5)s(6), indicating that s(6) pollen failed, but s(5) succee ... | 2007 | 18182436 |
| self-incompatibility of prunus tenella and evidence that reproductively isolated species of prunus have different sfb alleles coupled with an identical s-rnase allele. | many species of prunus display an s-rnase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (si), controlled by a single highly polymorphic multigene complex termed the s-locus. this comprises tightly linked stylar- and pollen-expressed genes that determine the specificity of the si response. we investigated si of prunus tenella, a wild species found in small, isolated populations on the balkan peninsula, initially by pollination experiments and identifying stylar-expressed rnase alleles. nine p. tenella ... | 2007 | 17461794 |
| the s haplotype-specific f-box protein gene, sfb, is defective in self-compatible haplotypes of prunus avium and p. mume. | many prunus species, including sweet cherry and japanese apricot, of the rosaceae, display an s-rnase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (gsi). the specificity of this outcrossing mechanism is determined by a minimum of two genes that are located in a multigene complex, termed the s locus, which controls the pistil and pollen specificities. sfb, a gene located in the s locus region, encodes an f-box protein that has appropriate s haplotype-specific variation to be the pollen determinant in ... | 2004 | 15272875 |
| cracking susceptibility of sweet cherries (prunus avium l.) under different conditions. | rain and hail during ripening and harvesting season can cause yield losses up to 90 % in sweet cherry cultivations in germany. particularly, high yield losses after precipitation are due to the cracking and the following rotting process through bacteria and fungi's. in order to protect the crop and improve cherry quality they can be treated with chemicals dried or healthier covered with rain shelters. to date the cracking phenomenon of cherries is still not clearly understood. therefore, in the ... | 2006 | 17390796 |
| composition of the cuticle of developing sweet cherry fruit. | the composition of wax and cutin from developing sweet cherry (prunus avium) fruit was studied by gc-ms between 22 and 85 days after full bloom (dafb). in this and our previous study, fruit mass and surface area increased in a sigmoidal pattern with time, but mass of the cuticular membrane (cm) per unit fruit surface area decreased. on a whole fruit basis, mass of cm increased up to 36 dafb and remained constant thereafter. at maturity, triterpenes, alkanes and alcohols accounted for 75.6%, 19.1 ... | 2007 | 17328933 |
| influence of cultivar and processing on cherry (prunus avium) allergenicity. | oral allergy syndrome is an immediate food allergic event that affects lips, mouth, and pharynx, is often triggered by fruits and vegetables, and may be associated with pollinosis. here, we report on the allergenic pattern of different varieties of cherry (prunus avium) and results obtained by applying several technological processes to the selected varieties. whole cherries were submitted to chemical peeling, thermal treatment, and syruping processes, and the relative protein extracts were anal ... | 2006 | 17177523 |
| detecting local establishment strategies of wild cherry (prunus avium l.). | p. avium, a pioneer tree species that colonizes early forest successional stages, is assumed to require an effective strategy allowing stably repeatable rounds of local establishment, dispersal and local extinction. consequently, the early replacement of cherry by climax tree species makes the establishment of several local generations very unlikely, especially in central european continuous cover forests. this has to be seen in connection with the mixed reproduction system involving asexual rep ... | 2006 | 17020607 |
| the mutated s1-haplotype in sour cherry has an altered s-haplotype-specific f-box protein gene. | gametophytic self-incompatibility (gsi) is an outcrossing mechanism in flowering plants that is genetically controlled by 2 separate genes located at the highly polymorphic s-locus, termed s-haplotype. this study characterizes a pollen part mutant of the s(1)-haplotype present in sour cherry (rosaceae, prunus cerasus l.) that contributes to the loss of gsi. inheritance of s-haplotypes from reciprocal interspecific crosses between the self-compatible sour cherry cultivar ujfehértói fürtös carryin ... | 2006 | 16985081 |
| heterozygote excess in a self-incompatible and partially clonal forest tree species -- prunus avium l. | wild cherry (prunus avium l.), a partially asexual self-incompatible forest tree, shows heterozygote excess, which is a poorly studied phenomenon. in three natural populations, we found significant heterozygote excess at almost all investigated loci (eight microsatellites and markers for the self-incompatibility locus). we examined four hypotheses to account for this observed heterozygote excess. first, negative f(is) can result from a lack of selfed progeny in small populations of outcrossing s ... | 2006 | 16780428 |
| chitosan acetate as an active coating material and its effects on the storing of prunus avium l. | in this article, chitosan acetate (ca) was prepared by the method of solid-liquid reaction. ca was a stable faint yellow powder with water solubility. ca kept the same backbone in the chemical structure as the raw material of chitosan, and it also had the similar antibacterial properties with chitosan. ca could form a coating film on the outside surface of the sweet cherries, could effectively retard the loss of the water, titratable acidity, and ascorbic acid of sweet cherries, and could induce ... | 2010 | 20492258 |
| assignation of sweet cherry selections to 3 taste groupings based on perceived sweetness and sourness. | providing consumers with basic taste properties of sweet cherries at point of purchase would allow consumers to make purchase decisions based on fruit's intrinsic sensory attributes. the objective of this study was to develop a model to predict taste-grouping assignation of cherries into the following categories: (1) low sweetness/high sourness, (2) balance between sweetness and sourness, and (3) high sweetness/low sourness. a sensory panel (n = 10) was trained to recognize sweetness and sournes ... | 2014 | 20492202 |
