Unveiling the Natural Dynamics of Parthenocarpy and Self-Compatibility in Apple Trees

Supplementary Materials:

Table S1. Three years parthenocarpy and self-compatible accession survey result.

Table S2. Accessions used in GWAS for parthenocarpic and self-compatible traits.

Table S3. Fruit set rate of parthenocarpy and self-compatible accessions. Light blue colour in the column of Number of fruits per cluster flower indicated fruit setting rates were comparable between bagged flowers and open-pollinated (OP) flowers.

Table S4. Functional annotations of the associated SNPs located within the candidate genes for parthenocarpy trait. The significant SNPs (-Log10 (P) ≥3) associated Malus genes were identified within 20kb either side of the SNP on GDT2T genome database.

Table S5. Functional annotations of the associated SNPs located within the candidate genes for self-compatible trait. The significant SNPs (-Log10 (P) ≥3) associated Malus genes were identified within 20kb either side of the SNP on GDT2T genome database.
