1. Hand-pollination in the field
<ol>
	<li>Pollen extraction
	<ol>
		<li>To obtain pollen, collect flower buds at stage D24, according to stage 57 on the BBCH scale25,26. 
		NOTE: More flower buds are necessary in Japanese plum than in other Prunus species because their anthers produce less pollen.</li>
		<li>Remove the anthers using a plastic mesh (2 mm x 2 mm pore size) and place them on paper at room temperature for 24 h until anther dehiscence.</li>
		<li>Sieve the pollen grains through a fine mesh (0.26 mm x 0.26 mm pore size), and conserve them in a 10 mL glass tube with a cap at 4 &#176;C until use.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Pollination of emasculated flowers
	<ol>
		<li>When between 10%&#8211;20% of flowers are open, select and label several branches. Remove open flowers and young buds, leaving only flower buds at stage D24, according to stage 57 on the BBCH scale25,26.</li>
		<li>Remove the petals, sepals, and stamens of between 800 and 1,000 flower buds per treatment with either fingernails or tweezers.</li>
		<li>Hand pollinate the pistils with the help of a fine paintbrush 24 h after emasculation. Some branches containing half of the pistils with pollen of the same cultivar, and the other half with compatible pollen from other cultivar as a control. Be careful not to contaminate the fingertip or paintbrush with pollen grains from other cultivars.</li>
		<li>Record weekly counts of flowers and developing fruits to characterize fruit drop pattern and quantify the final fruit set in each pollination treatment.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Supplementary pollination in the field
	<ol>
		<li>A few days before the first flowers open, enclose selected trees in a 0.8 mm mesh cage to avoid the arrival of pollinating insects.</li>
		<li>When 10%&#8211;20% flowers are open, select and label several branches per pollination treatment, leaving 1,000&#8211;1,500 flowers per treatment.</li>
		<li>On the next day, when flowers are open, pollinate each flower with the help of a paintbrush with the corresponding pollen (pollen from the same cultivar for self-pollination, and from other compatible cultivars as cross-pollination control).</li>
		<li>Pollinate every other day until all flowers open.</li>
		<li>Record weekly counts of flowers and developing fruits from anthesis to harvest to characterize fruit drop pattern and quantify final fruit set in each pollination treatment.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
2. Hand-pollinations in the laboratory
<ol>
	<li>Collect 50&#8211;100 flowers at stage D24, according to stage 57 on the BBCH scale25,26.</li>
	<li>In the laboratory, emasculate 30 flowers per treatment (self- and cross-pollination). 
	NOTE: Emasculation should be proceeded carefully to avoid any damage on the pistils.</li>
	<li>Make a fresh cut on the base of each flower pedicel underwater before placing it on a piece of wet florist foam (one piece of foam for each pollination treatment).</li>
	<li>Hand pollinate each pistil 24 h later using a fine paintbrush with pollen collected previously (see section 1.1). Pollinate one set of pistils with pollen from the same cultivar, and the other set with pollen from a compatible cultivar as control.</li>
	<li>Leave the pollinated pistils 72 h after pollination at room temperature. The floral foam should be continuously wet with water.</li>
	<li>Fix the pistils in a fixative solution of ethanol/acetic acid (3:1) for at least 24 h at 4 &#176;C. Replace the fixative with 75% ethanol. Samples can be conserved in this solution at 4 &#176;C until use27. 
	NOTE: Ensure that the samples are completely submerged in the solution.</li>
</ol>
3. Microscopic observations
<ol>
	<li>Evaluation of in vitro pollen germination
	<ol>
		<li>To elaborate pollen germination medium, dissolve 25 g of sucrose on 250 mL of distilled water, then add 0.075 g of calcium nitrate [Ca(NO3)2] and 0.075 g of boric acid (H3BO3).</li>
		<li>Add 2 g of agar to the solution and mix until completely dissolved28.</li>
		<li>To sterilize the medium, autoclave it at 120 &#176;C for 20 min. Cool the medium and, before it solidifies, distribute 3 mL per sterile Petri dish (55 mm x 12 mm) in a sterile laminar flow hood. After medium solidification, conserve the Petri dishes wrapped in aluminum foil at 4 &#176;C until use.</li>
		<li>Spread the pollen of each cultivar previously used as pollen donor in the controlled pollinations in two Petri dishes and incubate them at 25 &#176;C for 24 h. 
		NOTE: The inoculated culture media can be observed with microscopy immediately after or stored at -20 &#176;C until use. For this purpose, the Petri dishes should be changed from the freezer to the fridge 24 h before microscopy observations.</li>
		<li>To observe the pollen grains, prepare 1% (v/v) aniline blue solution that stains callose. First, prepare a 0.1 N potassium phosphate tribasic (K3PO4) solution by dissolving 7.97 g of K3PO4 in 1,000 mL of distilled water. To elaborate the 1% (v/v) aniline blue solution, dissolve 1 mL of aniline blue in 100 mL of 0.1 N K3PO4.</li>
		<li>Add 2&#8211;3 drops of aniline blue solution to each Petri dish plate and observe after 5 min under a UV epifluorescence microscope using exciter filter BP340-390 and barrier filter LP425. Count viable and non-viable pollen grains in three fields per plate, each field containing 100-200 pollen grains, in two Petri dishes for each cultivar.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Pollen tube growth
	<ol>
		<li>Rinse the fixed pistils with distilled water three times (1 h each, 3 h in total) and transfer to 5% (w/v) sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) at 4 &#176;C for 24 h. To prepare this solution, dissolve 5 g of sodium sulphite in 100 mL of distilled water.</li>
		<li>Autoclave the pistils at 120 &#176;C for 8 min in 5% (w/v) sodium sulphite to soften the tissues.</li>
		<li>Squash softened pistils in a drop of 1% (v/v) aniline blue solution under a cover glass on a slide to stain callose.</li>
		<li>Observe pollen tube growth along the style under a microscope with UV epifluorescence using exciter filter BP340-390 and barrier filter LP425.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
4. Determining incompatibility relationships
<ol>
	<li>DNA extraction from leaves
	<ol>
		<li>To extract DNA, collect 3&#8211;4 young leaves of each cultivar in the field, preferably in spring. 
		NOTE: DNA can also be extracted from mature leaves, but DNA from young leaves has less phenolic compounds.</li>
		<li>Isolate DNA using a commercial kit and follow the provided protocol kit (see Table of Materials).</li>
		<li>Quantify the DNA concentration and evaluate the quality of the DNA of each sample at 260 nm in an UV-Vis microvolume spectrophotometer. Adjust the DNA concentration to 10 ng/&#956;L.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>PCR conditions for fragment amplification
	<ol>
		<li>Label 0.2 mL PCR tubes and caps.</li>
		<li>Prepare the PCR reagents according to Table 1 and let them thaw on ice.</li>
		<li>Set up a volume of master mix of each pair of primers in a 1.5 mL microtube according to the number of reactions plus 10% of excess, considering a volume of 16 &#956;L per reaction. Add the reagents following the order in Table 1 and mix thoroughly.</li>
		<li>Aliquot 16 &#956;L of master mix into each 0.2 mL PCR tube containing 4 &#956;L of DNA template or 4 &#956;L of sterilized distilled water as negative control (C-). Use DNA of cultivars with known genotype as positive controls. Mix gently, close the reaction tubes with the caps, and centrifugate at 2,000 x g for 30 s to collect the entire volume at the bottom of the reaction tube.</li>
		<li>Place the reaction tubes in the thermocycler and set up the PCR program using the following temperature profile: an initial step of 3 min at 94 &#176;C, 35 cycles of 1 min at 94 &#176;C, 1 min at 56 &#176;C and 3 min at 72 &#176;C, and a final step of 7 min at 72 &#176;C20.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Electrophoresis and estimation of fragment size
	<ol>
		<li>To prepare a 1.7% (w/v) agarose mini gel, dissolve 0.68 g of agarose and 40 mL of 1x TBE buffer into a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Melt the solution by heating in a microwave at 600 W at 30 s intervals to avoid boiling.</li>
		<li>Let the solution stay on the bench to cool down, and then add 3.5 &#956;L of nucleic acid staining solution.</li>
		<li>Place the gel tray into the casting stand and put the selected comb into the gel mold. Be sure to have enough wells for each PCR product and DNA ladder.</li>
		<li>Pour the agarose solution into the gel mold and let it cool down until polymerization. Remove the comb of the polymerized gel. Place the gel in the horizontal electrophoresis system containing enough 1x TBE buffer to cover the surface of the gel.</li>
		<li>Load the first and last wells with 2 &#956;L of the DNA molecular weight ladder (1 kb DNA Ladder). Load 3 &#956;L of each product of the PCR in the other wells. Close the chamber, turn on the power, and run the gel at 100 V for 30 min.</li>
		<li>Observe the gel under UV light using a gel documentation system. Use the DNA molecular weight ladder to determine the size of the amplified fragment and compare it with the positive controls in order to identify the corresponding alleles.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
5. Monitoring flower dates
<ol>
	<li>Monitor the phenology of different trees of each cultivar at flowering over different years. Establish the length of the flowering period from the first (about 5%) to the last open flowers (about 95%). Full bloom is considered when at least 50% of flowers are at stage F24, according to stage 65 on the BBCH scale25,26.</li>
	<li>To compare the flowering dates of inter-compatible cultivars and determine those that coincide at flowering time every year, elaborate a calendar of flowering times with data from several years.</li>
</ol>

The authors have nothing to disclose.

The methodology described herein for pollination requirements of Japanese plum cultivars requires determining the self-(in)compatibility of each cultivar by controlled pollinations in the field or the laboratory, and the subsequent observation of pollen tube growth with fluorescence microscopy. The incompatibility relationships are established by the characterization of the S-alleles by molecular genotyping. Finally, the selection of pollinizers is performed by the monitoring phenology to detect those cultivars ...

Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) is native to China1. In the 19th century, this crop was introduced from Japan to the United States, where it was intercrossed with other North American diploid plums2. In the 20th century, some of these hybrids were spread to temperate regions around the world. Nowadays, the term &#8220;Japanese plum&#8221; refers to a wide range of interspecific hybrids derived from crosses between the original P. salicina with up to 15 other diploid Prunus spp.3,4,5.
Japanese plum, like other species of the Rosaceae family, exhibits Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility (GSI), which is controlled by a single and highly polymorphic S-locus containing multiple alleles6. The S-locus contains two genes that encode a ribonuclease (S-RNase) expressed in the pistil, and an F-box protein (SFB) expressed in the pollen grain7. In the self-Incompatibility reaction, when the S-allele expressed in the pollen grain (haploid) is the same as one of the two expressed in the pistil (diploid), the growth of the pollen tube across the style is arrested due to the degradation of the pollen tube RNA by the action of the S-RNase8. Since this process prevents fertilization of the female gametophyte in the ovule, GSI promotes the outcrossing between cultivars.
Although some Japanese plum cultivars are self-compatible, most cultivars currently grown are self-incompatible, and need pollen from inter-compatible donors to fertilize their flowers3. In stone fruit species of genus Prunus such as almond9, apricot10,11,12 and sweet cherry13, pollination requirements of cultivars can be established by different approaches. Self-(in)compatibility can be determined by self-pollination of flowers in the field and subsequent monitoring of fruit set, or by semi-in vivo self-pollinations at controlled conditions in a laboratory and the observation of pollen tubes under the microscope14,15,16,17,18. Incompatibility relationships among cultivars can be determined by cross pollinations in the field or the laboratory using pollen of the potential pollinizer cultivar, and by the identification of S-alleles of each cultivar by PCR analysis14,15,16,19,20,21,22. In species such as sweet cherry or almond, self-(in)compatibility can be also assessed by the identification of particular S alleles associated to self-compatibility, as S4&#8217; in sweet cherry13 or Sf in almond23.
Several plum breeding programs from the main producing countries are releasing a number of new cultivars2,14, many of them with unknown pollination requirements. In this work, a methodology for the determination of pollination requirements in Japanese plum-type hybrids is described. Self-(in)compatibility is determined by self-pollinations in both the field and the laboratory, followed by observations of pollen tubes under the fluorescence microscopy. Selection of pollinizer cultivars combines the identification of S-genotypes by PCR analysis with the monitoring of flowering time in the field.

Establishing Pollination Requirements in Japanese Plum by Phenological Monitoring, Hand Pollinations, Fluorescence Microscopy and Molecular Genotyping

The Japanese plum cultivars commonly grown are interspecific hybrids derived from crosses between the original Prunus salicina with other Prunus species. Most hybrids exhibit gametophytic self-incompatibility, which is controlled by a single and highly polymorphic S-locus that contains multiple alleles. Most cultivated hybrids are self-incompatible and need pollen from a compatible donor to fertilize their flowers. Establishing pollination requirements in Japanese plum is becoming increasingly important due to the high number of new cultivars with unknown pollination requirements. In this work, a methodology for the determination of pollination requirements in Japanese plum-type hybrids is described. Self-(in)compatibility is determined by hand-pollinations in both the field and in the laboratory, followed by monitoring pollen tube elongation with fluorescence microscopy, and also monitoring fruit maturation in the field. Selection of pollinizer cultivars is assessed by combining the identification of S-genotypes by PCR analysis with the monitoring of flowering time in the field. Knowing the pollination requirements of cultivars facilitates the selection of cultivars for the design of new orchards and allows the early detection of productivity problems related with pollination deficiency in established orchards.

Each Japanese plum flower bud contains an inflorescence with 1–3 flowers. As in other stone fruit species, each flower is made up of four whorls: carpel, stamens, petals, and sepals, which are fused forming a cup at the base of the flower. Flower structures are smaller than other stone fruits, with a short and fragile pistil surrounded by the stamens that contain a small amount of pollen grains. At full bloom, the flowers of each inflorescence appear separated on short stalks, showing the white petals forming a balloon s...

We have developed a methodology for performing crosses in Setaria viridis (S. viridis).  The method involves pruning the panicle prior to a hot water treatment to kill viable pollen.  Crosses are performed following a well-controlled growth regime and typically result in the recovery of 1 to 7 cross-pollinated seed/s per panicle.
