Nicotiana alata has been successfully used as an experimental model to elucidate cellular and molecular aspects of S-RNase based self-incompatibility in Solanaceae. However, S-RNase alleles of this species have not been surveyed from natural populations and consequently the S-haplotype diversity is poorly known. Here the mo
