Oil-tea tree (Camellia oleifera) is the most important edible oil tree species in China with late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI) properties. The mechanism of LSI is uncertain, which seriously hinders the research on its genetic characteristics, construction of genetic map, selection of cross breeding parents and cultivar arrangement. To gain insights into the LSI mechanism, we performed cytological, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic studies on self-and cross-pollinated pistils. The studies identified 166,591 transcripts, 6851 protein...
