Abstract: | In Brassica species, self-incompatibility has been mapped genetically to a single chromosomal location. In this region several closely linked genes have been identified. One of them, S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), determines S haplotype specificity of the stigma and it's the key protein for SI reaction. The role of the S locus glycoprotein (SLG) gene remains unclear. In the last decade approximately 15 additional genes linked to S-locus have been found. Recently, a gene has been identified (SCR) that encodes a small cysteine-rich protein which is a candidate for the pollen ligand. In addition to S locus linked genes there are unlinked SLRgenes (S-locus related genes). In this review, we discuss the role of these genes and the current view on the self-incompatibility mechanism in Brassica. |
