Self-incompatibility systems as bioassays for mutagens
Many flowering plants are unable to set seeds with their own pollen because a system known as gametophytic self-incompatibility is operating. The basis of this system is a single multiallelic locus S, and if the S allele carried by a pollen grain matches one of the two S alleles carried in the style, as it is certain to do upon self-pollination, then pollen tube growth is inhibited. Should one ...
متن کاملSelf-incompatibility systems: barriers to self-fertilization in flowering plants.
Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the most prevalent and evolutionarily advanced group of plants. Success of these plants is owed to several unique evolutionary adaptations that aid in reproduction: the flower, the closed carpel, double fertilization, and the ultimate products of fertilization, seeds enclosed in the fruit. Angiosperms exhibit a vast array of reproductive strategies, including ...
متن کاملSelf-incompatibility
There are several different types of self-incompatibility in different flowering plant species, and there has recently been progress in understanding their molecular genetics by using combined molecular and evolutionary approaches. Questions include the mechanism of self-incompatibility (both the nature of the proteins encoded by the genes and whether incompatibility systems all have separate g...
متن کاملSelf-incompatibility in Brassicaceae crops: lessons for interspecific incompatibility
Most wild plants and some crops of the Brassicaceae express self-incompatibility, which is a mechanism that allows stigmas to recognize and discriminate against "self" pollen, thus preventing self-fertilization and inbreeding. Self-incompatibility in this family is controlled by a single S locus containing two multiallelic genes that encode the stigma-expressed S-locus receptor kinase and its p...
متن کاملActin senses self-incompatibility
A ctin depolymerization is a death trigger for poppy pollen, according to Thomas et al. (page 221), that prevents self-fertilization. Some plants prefer not to be fertilized by pollen grains that are genetically similar to themselves. These plants express self-incompatibility (S) proteins. A match between the pistil’s S-proteins and the pollen’s S-allele triggers a rapid calcium infl ux, actin ...
