Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) has a gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) mechanism controlled by a single S-locus with multiple S-haplotypes, each of which contains separate genes that determine the allelic identity of pistil and pollen. The pistil S gene is the S-ribonuclease (S-RNase) gene, whereas good candidates for the pollen S gene are the F-box protein genes. A self-compatible (SC) cultivar, 'Osa-Nijisseiki', which is a bud mutant of 'Nijisseiki' (S2S4), has a stylar-part mutant S-4(sm)-haplotype, which lacks the S-4-RNase gene but retains the pollen S gene. To delineate the deletion breakpoint in the S-4(sm)-haplotype, we constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library from an S-4-homozygote, and assembled a BAC contig of 570 kb around the S-4-RNase. Genomic PCR of DNA from S-4- and S-4(sm)-homozygotes and the DNA sequence of the BAC contig allowed the identification of a deletion of 236 kb spanning from 48 kb upstream to 188 kb downstream of S-4-RNase. The S-4(sm)-haplotype lacks 34 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) including the S-4-RNase and a pollen-specific F-box protein gene (termed as S4F-box0). Genomic PCR with a primer pair designed from the deletion junctions yielded a product specific for the S-4(sm)-haplotype. The product could be useful as a maker for early selection of SC cultivars harboring the S-4(sm)-haplotype.
