| Abstract | In almond, gametophytic self-incompatibility is controlled by a single multiallelic locus (S-locus). In styles, the products of S-alleles are ribonucleases, the S-RNases. Cultivated almond in California have four predominant S-alleles (S a, S b, S c, S d). We previously reported the cDNA cloning of three of these alleles, namely S b, S c and S d. In this paper we report the cloning and DNA sequence analysis of the S a allele. The Sa-RNase displays approximately 55% similarity at the amino-acid level with other almond S-RNases (Sb, Sc, and Sd) and this similarity was lower than that observed among the Sb, Sc and Sd-RNases. Using the cDNA sequence, a PCR-based identification system using genomic DNA was developed for each of the S-RNase alleles. Five almond cultivars with known self-incompatibility (SI) geno-types were analyzed. Common sequences among four S-alleles were used to create four primers, which, when used as sets, amplify DNA bands of unique size that corresponded to each of the four almond S-alleles; S a (602 bp), S b (1083 bp), S c (221 bp) and S d (343 bp). All PCR products obtained from genomic DNA isolated from the five almond cultivars were cloned and their DNA sequence obtained. The nucleotide sequence of these genomic DNA fragments matched the corresponding S-allele cDNA sequence in every case. The amplified products obtained for the S a- and S b-alleles were both longer than that expected for the coding region, revealing the presence of an intron of 84 bp in the S a-allele and 556 bp in the S b-allele. Both introns are present within the site of the hypervariable region common in S-RNases from the Rosaceae family and which may be important for S specificity. The exon portions of the genomic DNA sequences were completely consistent with the cDNA sequence of the corresponding S-allele. A useful application of these primers would be to identify the S-genotype of progeny in a breeding program, new varieties in an almond nursery, or new grower selections at the seedling stage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
