The effect of non-additive genetic interactions on selection in multi-locus genetic models
Article Abstract:
The effect of non-additive genetic interactions on selection in multi-locus genetic models is investigated in which two different genetic models representing various numbers of loci was compared. It was seen that the additive genetic variance could also increase in the case of truncation selection, when dominance and epistasis was present and that additive-by-additive epistatic effects generally gave a higher increase in additive variance compared to dominance.

Allelic diversity of S-RNase at the self-incompatibility locus in natural flowering cherry populations (Prunus lannesiana var. speciosa)
Article Abstract:
The two populations of flowering cherry located on Hachijo Island and the diversity of S-allele was surveyed based on the polymorphism of S-RNase. Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) in the Rosaceae family, which includes Prunus, is controlled by a single multi-allelic locus (S-locus) and this is expressed in the glycoprotein with ribonuclease activity.

Genetic relationships between diploid and allotetraploid cherry species (Prunus avium, Prunus x gondouinii and Prunus cerasus)
Article Abstract:
Hundred and Fourteen genotypes belonging to tetraploid and diploid cherry species were analyzed using 75 AFLP markers. There were specific alleles in P.cerasus, which were not present in the A genome of P. avium and which probably came from the F genome of P.cerasus.
