"In the last 13 years we have produced an average of 4700 hybrids per year. We collect 80000 seeds, out of which 60000 come from ‘controlled’ open pollinations. The largest families have 250-300 hybrids" says Dr. José Manuel Donoso of INIA Rayantué.

Despite the fact its manifests similarly to other Rosaceae species, GSI in sour cherries is more complex due to tetraploidy and the presence of pollen-part and stylar-part mutants that cause genetic changes at S-locus.
