    Summary
    A total of 17 pollen incompatibility groups in sweet cherry (Prunusavium L.) were identified among 46 accessions by PCR based S-alleletyping analysis and by controlled test pollinations. Two putativeS-alleles different from S 1 to S 6,S z and S y were identified. Five S-genotypes, S 1 S 5, S 1 S 6,S 2 S 6, S 4 S 6, andS 5 S 6, combinations of S 1 toS 6 alleles that had not previously been identified from cultivars in NYSAES, were positively confirmed by PCR based S-genotyping analysis. Also, the S-genotypes of cultivars in some pollen incompatibility groups that had previously been incorrectly reported have been clarified. Several popular cultivars, which were previously used as testers for S-allele typing analysis, were found to have been inaccurately genotyped. In addition, the S-genotypes and self-incompatibility groups of some relatively recentlyintroduced cultivars were identified. The molecular typing system ofS-genotypes based on PCR is a useful and rapid method for identifying newS-alleles and incompatibility groups in sweet cherry
