S-RNase gene of Nicotiana alata is expressed in developing pollen.
In the solanaceous plant Nicotiana alata, self-incompatibility is controlled by a single, multiallelic locus (S locus) expressed in both pollen and pistil. Previously, we have shown cosegregation between alleles of the S locus and alleles of a gene that encodes a glycoprotein with ribonuclease activity (S-RNase). Furthermore, expression of the S-RNase gene is apparently confined to the pistil a...
متن کاملAction of the Style Product of the Self-Incompatibility Gene of Nicotiana alata (S-RNase) on in Vitro-Grown Pollen Tubes.
The products of the S-locus expressed in female tissues of Nicotiana alata are ribonucleases (S-RNases). The arrest of growth of incompatible pollen tubes in styles may result from entry of the S-RNase into the pollen tube and degradation of pollen tube RNA. We investigated the action of isolated S-RNases on pollen tubes grown in vitro and found that S-RNase is taken up by the pollen without su...
متن کاملInhibition of in Vitro Pollen Tube Growth by Isolated S-Glycoproteins of Nicotiana alata.
Pollen from three S-genotypes of Nicotiana alata was grown in vitro in the presence of S-glycoproteins isolated from styles of the same three genotypes. Pollen germination was not affected by the presence of the S-glycoproteins, but pollen tube growth of all genotypes was inhibited. S2 pollen was preferentially inhibited by the S2-glycoprotein and S3 pollen by the S3-glycoprotein. The S6-glycop...
متن کاملA molecular description of mutations affecting the pollen component of the Nicotiana alata S locus.
Mutations affecting the self-incompatibility response of Nicotiana alata were generated by irradiation. Mutants in the M1 generation were selected on the basis of pollen tube growth through an otherwise incompatible pistil. Twelve of the 18 M1 plants obtained from the mutagenesis screen were self-compatible. Eleven self-compatible plants had mutations affecting only the pollen function of the S...
متن کاملExpression of 10 S-class SLF-like genes in Nicotiana alata pollen and its implications for understanding the pollen factor of the S locus.
The S locus of Nicotiana alata encodes a polymorphic series of ribonucleases (S-RNases) that determine the self-incompatibility (SI) phenotype of the style. The pollen product of the S locus (pollen S) in N. alata is unknown, but in species from the related genus Petunia and in self-incompatible members of the Plantaginaceae and Rosaceae, this function has been assigned to an F-box protein know...
