Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) is controlled by a highly polymorphic locus called the S-locus, which is an important factor that can result in seedless fruit in Citrus. The S1 self-incompatibility locus-linked pollen 3.15 gene (S1-3.

- UBE1 is essential for the ubiquitination process that marks proteins for degradation, impacting various metabolic functions.
- Researchers isolated and analyzed the CrUBE1 gene from two types of mandarins, revealing five amino acid and eight DNA sequence differences between the self-incompatible and self-compatible varieties.
- The expression levels of CrUBE1 were significantly higher in the self-compatible 'Shatangju' compared to the self-incompatible 'Wuzishatangju', with the highest levels found in pistils after self-pollination, and increased concentrations of CrUBE1 protein inhibited pollen germination in 'Wuzishatangju'.
S-RNase-based self-incompatibility is the most widespread form of genetically controlled mate selection in plants and that S-RNase controls pollination specificity in the pistils. 'Wuzishatangju' (Citrus reticulata Blanco), a nature bud mutant from a self-compatible (SC) cultivar 'Shatangju', displays gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI). In this study, full-length sequences of cDNA and DNA of the S-RNase homologous gene were obtained from 'Wuzishatangju' and 'Shatangju'.
