The S‐alleles of each cultivar were determined by PCR amplification of the S‐RNase gene. The results allowed allocating the cultivars in their corresponding incompatibility groups, a highly valuable tool for fruit growers to design apricot orchards, and for breeders to choose parental genotypes in breeding programs.Financial support for this research was provided by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) - European Regional Development Fund, European Union (AGL2013-43732-R, AGL2016-77267-R and AGL2015-74071-JIN); Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agraria (INIA) (RFP2015-00015-00, RTA2014-00085-00); Gobierno de Aragón - European Social Fund, European Union (Grupo Consolidado A-43) and by Agroseguro S.A.Peer reviewe
