In: Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium of Molecular Breeding of Forage Turf. p. 191.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: Self-pollination is prevented in red clover by a gametophytic self-incompatibility system (SI).  This SI system is likely controlled by two tightly linked genes, effectively creating a single locus.  While SI genes have been identified in some plants, they have not been identified in red clover or other Fabaceae.  Too identify the SI-Locus two mapping populations were developed.  The first was a single-cross between a S1S2 and a S2S3 plant.  From each maternal plant, 50 progeny were grown to maturity with maternal identity maintained.  S-locus genotypes were identified using testcrosses within maternal progeny groups.  SSR (Sato et al., 2005) co-segregating with progeny genotypes and pollen haplotype within maternal progeny groups were identified.  Approximately 200 haplotypes were mapped.  The second mapping population was a cross between a heterozygous self-compatible dominant mutant (SfSx) and a wild-type plant (SxSx).  Attempted progeny self-pollination determined genotype.  SSR co-segregating with progeny genotypes were identified.  240 progeny were used.  In both mapping populations the SI-locus mapped to a position on LG1 approximately 1cM down from RCS5615.  Other closely linked markers include: RCS5027, RCS6958, RCS3161, RCS0810, and RCS0907.  This confirms the tested self-compatible mutant is a SI-locus mutant.  The linked SSR are being used to identify S-alleles in breeding programs to: 1) enhance paternity testing and 2) create S-allele restricted populations increasing population hybridity (Riday and Krohn, 2010).
