Neofunctionalisation of the Sli gene leads to self-compatibility and facilitates precision breeding in potato

The S-locus inhibitor (Sli) gene could allow potato breeding by facilitating production of diploid inbred lines. Here the authors show that Sli encodes an F-box protein with a promoter insertion enhancing expression in pollen can overcome pollen rejection in the styles of diploid potato.
