Pandey , K.K. (Crop Res. Div., D.S. & I.R., Lincoln, Christchurch, New Zealand.) Interspecific incompatibility in Solanum species. Amer. Jour. Bot. 49(8): 874–882. Illus. 1962.—A diallel cross involving 11 self-incompatible and 3 self-compatible species of Solanum was made to study the genetic basis of interspecific incompatibility. Interspecific incompatibility was not limited to crosses in which a self-compatible species was used as the male parent onto a self-incompatible species (unilateral incompatibility). A number of crosses between self-incompatible species were incompatible. In one cross, Q vernei X verrucosum, a self-compatible species was successful as a pollen parent with a self-incompatible species. Unlike other hybrids between self-compatible and self-incompatible species, which are self-incompatible, these F1 hybrids were self-fertile, and cross-fertile among themselves and with both parents. The self-fertile S. polyadenium was cross-incompatible as a female as well as a male parent with all other species. It is suggested that the unilateral incompatibility is a property of the allele SC which originated as a consequence of one kind of breakdown of the SI gene; the SC allele produces “bare” pollen growth substances which are inactivated in an incompatible style. It is proposed that the failure of the principle of unilateral interspecific incompatibility in solanaceous species may be due to the action of alleles at the second incompatibility locus revealed in certain Mexican species. It is assumed that the South American species are selected intraspecifically only for the action of S alleles but that in certain interspecific crosses and rarely in intraspecific crosses the alleles at the second locus may be expressed, thus interfering with the usual action of S alleles. The F1 hybrids Q verrucosum (self-fertile) X simplicifolium (self-sterile) were self-incompatible at the tetraploid as well as the diploid level, and their cross-compatibility behavior was consistent with the expected activity of the SC and SI alleles of the 2 parents respectively. 相似文献

Six plants of a self-incompatible population ofLeavenworthia çrassa were grown from seed collected in nature and cross-pollinated in all combinations. The incompatibility relationships between sibs were determined in eleven of the F1 families. A one-locus sporophytic incompatibility system was established. None of the parents was homozygous at the S locus. At least five, and possibly all six, of the parents did not share an S allele. Only one pair of alleles was shown to have different interactions in the pollen and stigmata. The identity and expression of the S alleles were determined in six families. Eight pairs of alleles were independently expressed in both the pollen grains and the stigmata. Sixteen pairs of alleles showed dominance of one allele over the other in the pollen grains or the stigmata or both.F1 plants of two crosses between different self-incompatible races were self-incompatible. F1 plants of six crosses between self-incompatible and self-compatible races were self-incompatible; in five of the families, the frequency of pseudo-compatibility was higher than in the self-incompatible parent. Self-incompatible hybrids from a cross between a self-incompatible and a self-compatible population provide a method for rapidly determining allelic interactions in plants with a sporophytic incompatibility system.The research was carried out at the Biological Laboratories, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 相似文献

We surveyed ribonuclease activity in the styles of Nicotiana spp. and found little or no activity in self-compatible species and in a self-compatible accession of a self-incompatible species. All self-incompatible species had high levels of ribonuclease activity in their style. Interestingly, one self-compatible species, N. sylvestris, had a level of stylar ribonuclease activity comparable to that of some self-incompatible Nicotiana species. A ribonuclease with biochemical properties similar to those of the self-incompatibility (S-)RNases of N. alata was purified from N. sylvestris styles. The N-terminal sequence of this protein was used to confirm the identity of a cDNA corresponding to the stylar RNase. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA was related to those of the S-RNases and included the five conserved regions characteristic of these proteins. It appears that the N. sylvestris RNase may have evolved from the S-RNases and is an example of a 'relic S-RNase'. A number of features distinguish the N. sylvestris RNase from the S-RNases, and the role these may have played in the presumed loss of the self-incompatibility response during the evolution of this species are discussed. 相似文献

Background: S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) occurs in the Solanaceae, Rosaceae and Plantaginaceae. In all three families, compatibility is controlled by a polymorphic S-locus encoding at least two genes. S-RNases determine the specificity of pollen rejection in the pistil, and S-locus F-box proteins fulfill this function in pollen. S-RNases are thought to function as S-specific cytotoxins as well as recognition proteins. Thus, incompatibility results from the cytotoxic activity of S-RNase, while compatible pollen tubes evade S-RNase cytotoxicity. SCOPE: The S-specificity determinants are known, but many questions remain. In this review, the genetics of SI are introduced and the characteristics of S-RNases and pollen F-box proteins are briefly described. A variety of modifier genes also required for SI are also reviewed. Mutations affecting compatibility in pollen are especially important for defining models of compatibility and incompatibility. In Solanaceae, pollen-side mutations causing breakdown in SI have been attributed to the heteroallelic pollen effect, but a mutation in Solanum chacoense may be an exception. This has been interpreted to mean that pollen incompatibility is the default condition unless the S-locus F-box protein confers resistance to S-RNase. In Prunus, however, S-locus F-box protein gene mutations clearly cause compatibility. CONCLUSIONS: Two alternative mechanisms have been proposed to explain compatibility and incompatibility: compatibility is explained either as a result of either degradation of non-self S-RNase or by its compartmentalization so that it does not have access to the pollen tube cytoplasm. These models are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but each makes different predictions about whether pollen compatibility or incompatibility is the default. As more factors required for SI are identified and characterized, it will be possible to determine the role each process plays in S-RNase-based SI. 相似文献

RNaseI from Escherichia coli cannot substitute for S-RNase in rejection of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia pollen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Unilateral incompatibility often occurs between self-incompatible (SI) species and their self-compatible (SC) relatives. For example, SI Nicotiana alata rejects pollen from SC N. plumbaginifolia, but the reciprocal pollination is compatible. This interspecific pollen rejection system closely resembles intraspecific S-allele-specific pollen rejection. However, the two systems differ in degree of specificity. In SI, rejection is S-allele-specific, meaning that only a single S-RNase causes rejection of pollen with a specific S genotype. Rejection of N. plumbaginifolia pollen is less specific, occurring in response to almost any S-RNase. Here, we have tested whether a non-S-RNase can cause rejection of N. plumbaginifolia pollen. The Escherichia coli rna gene encoding RNaseI was engineered for expression in transgenic (N. plumbaginifolia × SC N. alata) hybrids. Expression levels and pollination behavior of hybrids expressing E. coli RNaseI were compared to controls expressing SA2-RNase from N. alata. Immunoblot analysis and RNase activity assays showed that RNaseI and SA2-RNase were expressed at comparable levels. However, expression of SA2-RNase caused rejection of N. plumbaginifolia pollen, whereas expression of RNaseI did not. Thus, in this system, RNase activity alone is not sufficient for rejection of N. plumbaginifolia pollen. The results suggest that S-RNases may be specially adapted to function in pollen rejection. 相似文献

Four S-RNases (RNase associated with self-incompatibility) were purified from the styles of two apple cultivars (Malus domestica), a self-incompatible cv., Starking Delicious (SD), and a self-compatible cv., Megumi (MG). Each cultivar produced two S-RNases and their enzymatic properties such as specific activity, pH optimum, thermal stability, and molecular mass, were characterized. The four S-RNases inhibited the tube growth of apple pollen in an in vitro bioassay at 25 microg/ml (1.0 microM), but did not distinguish self from non-self pollen. The cDNAs of four S-RNases were cloned, and the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were analyzed. The nucleotide sequence of SD-Se RNase was a new one and the other was identical to that of Sc-RNase of cv. Fuji. In MG one was identical to the sequence of SD-Sc RNase and the other to that of Sa-RNase of cv. Golden Delicious except for one base. From results of the isolation amounts and the Western blot analysis for stylar crude extracts the amount of S-RNases in MG was apparently less than that in SD. 相似文献

The occurrence of unilateral incompatibility was tested for a distylous heteromorphic system, using crosses between a self-sterile and three self-fertile species in Primula L. section Aleuritia Duby. The crosses showed non-reciprocity but not in the same direction as would be predicted in the case of unilateral incompatibility. Pollen from the self-compatible (s-c) species was not always inhibited on the style of the self-incompatible (s-i) species, and cross-fertility between s-i and s-c crosses more resembled that between different s-c species, which was also non-reciprocal. Cytoplasmic-nuclear DNA interactions and the possibility of embryo-endosperm imbalance could both explain these results. In crosses between Primula farinosa L. (s-i diploid) and P. scotica Hook. (s-c hexaploid), heterostylous pin tetraploid offspring were produced. This result is discussed in relation to the genome of P. scotica and the possibility that pin morph plants may occur in wild P scotica populations. 相似文献

The growth of pollen tubes of a sampling of Lilium species in styles of L. longiflorum incubated at 24 C for 48 hr after pollination indicated two types of interspecific incompatibility. Pollen tubes of two self-compatible species of section Leucolirion, the section including L. longiflorum, stopped growth abruptly upon reaching the stylar canal, were of abnormal morphology, and were incapable of continued growth with longer incubation. Pollen tubes of self-compatible or self-incompatible species of sections Sinomartagon, Pseudolirium, Liriotypus, and Daurolirion approached but did not exceed the length of intraspecific incompatible pollen tubes in styles of L. longiflorum. Pollen tube morphology was normal and tubes were capable of continued growth with additional incubation. Unilateral interspecific incompatibility occurred in reciprocal crosses between self-incompatible L. longiflorum and self-compatible L. regale and L. formosanum, but exceptions occurred in Aurelian hybrids. Incubation of interspecifically pollinated L. longiflorum styles at 39 C, which removes the self-incompatibility reaction, had no effect on interspecific incompatibility. 相似文献

In cruciferous plants, self-pollination is prevented by the action of genes situated at the self-incompatibility locus or S-locus. The self-incompatibility reaction is associated with expression of stigma glycoproteins encoded by the S-locus glycoprotein (SLG) gene. Only a few cases of self-compatible plants derived from self-incompatible lines in the crucifer Brassica have been reported. In these cases, self-compatibility was generally ascribed to the action of single genes unlinked to the S-locus. In contrast, we report here a line of Brassica oleracea var acephala with a self-compatible phenotype linked to the S-locus. By means of both biochemical and immunochemical analyses, we showed that this self-compatible (Sc) line nonetheless possesses stigmatic SLGs (SLG-Sc) that are expressed with a similar spatial and temporal pattern to that described for the SLGs of self-incompatible Brassica plants. Moreover, the SLG-Sc products segregate with the self-compatibility phenotype in F2 progeny, suggesting that changes at the S-locus may be responsible for the occurrence of the self-compatibility character. A cDNA clone encoding the SLG-Sc product was isolated, and the deduced amino acid sequence showed this glycoprotein to be highly homologous to the pollen recessive S2 allele glycoprotein. Hence, self-compatibility in this Brassica Sc line correlates with the expression of a pollen recessive-like S allele in the stigma. 相似文献

Exchanging sequence domains between S-RNases from Nicotiana alata disrupts pollen recognition 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In self-incompatible plants of the Solanaceae, the specificity of pollen rejection is controlled by a single multiallelic S-locus. Pollen tube growth is inhibited in the style when its single S-allele matches either S-allele present in the diploid pistil. Each S-allele encodes an S-RNase with a unique sequence. S-RNases are secreted into the extracellular matrix of the transmitting tract which guides pollen tubes toward the ovary. Although it is known that S-RNases are the determinants of S-allele specificity in the pistil, it is not known how allele-specific information is encoded in the sequence. Therefore, we exchanged domains between S-RNases with different recognition specificities and expressed the chimeric proteins in transgenic plants to determine their effects on pollination behavior. Nine chimeric constructs were prepared in which domains from Nicotiana alata SA2 - and SC10 -RNases were exchanged. Among these nine constructs, the entire S-RNase sequence was sampled by exchanging single variable domains as well as larger blocks of contiguous sequences. The chimeric S-RNases retained enzymatic activity and were expressed at levels comparable to control transformants expressing SA2 - and SC10 -RNase. However, none of the chimeric S-RNases caused rejection of either SA2 - or SC10 -pollen. We conclude that the recognition function of S-RNases can be disrupted by alterations in many parts of the sequence. It appears that the recognition function of S-RNase is not localized to a specific domain. 相似文献

Evolutive changes in mating systems are often accompanied by changes in flower morphology, such as the reduction in size or even loss of petals, changes in production of volatiles, pollen/ovule ratio, the position between anthers and stigma and the germination time of pollen after pollination. These changes have been merged under the term “selfing syndrome” and often result in new taxonomic species. The evolutionary shift frequently happens parallel within many families and genera, for example within the Brassicaceae family. Within the genus Capsella, which is closely related to the molecular model species pair Arabidopsis lyrata (SI)/A. thaliana (SC), we studied self-incompatible and self-compatible species. SC species C. rubella and C. bursa-pastoris produce in comparison with the SI species C. grandiflora (i) smaller petals as the result of decreased cell division and only less of decreasing cell volume, (ii) less production of pollen in one flower, (iii) show a lesser incision between the two valves of the fruits, in combination with a shorter style, and (iv) have a much quicker fertilization of SC pollen after pollination. Crossing success between the diploid species, between different provenances of the tetraploid C. bursa-pastoris, and between the two diploid species and particular individuals of the self-incompatible C. grandiflora has been proven. 相似文献

Self-compatibility in a naturally self-incompatible species like sweet cherry is a highly interesting trait for breeding purposes and a powerful tool with which to investigate the basis of the self-incompatible reaction in gametophytic systems. However, natural self-compatibility in sweet cherry is a very rare phenomenon. Cristobalina is a local Spanish sweet cherry cultivar that has proven to be spontaneously self-compatible. In this work, the nature of the self-compatibility in Cristobalina has been studied using genetic and molecular approaches. Pollination studies and microscopic observations of pollen tube growth were carried out to confirm the self-compatible character and the results obtained indicate that self-compatibility is caused by a failure of the pollen and not the style factor. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of progenies derived from Cristobalina revealed that self-compatibility in this genotype is not related uniquely to one of the two pollen S alleles, but that pollen grains carrying either of the two haplotypes can overcome the incompatibility barrier. Moreover, PCR analysis and microscopic observation of pollen tube growth in progeny derived from Cristobalina also confirmed that the self-compatible descendants can carry either of the two S haplotypes of their progenitor. Isolation and sequencing of the style S-RNases and pollen SFBs revealed that the DNA sequences of these factors are the same as those described in other self-incompatible sweet cherry cultivars with the same S alleles. Possible mechanisms to explain self-compatibility in Cristobalina are discussed. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Unilateral incompatibility (UI) occurs when pollinations between species are successful in one direction but not in the other. Self-incompatible (SI) species frequently show UI with genetically related, self-compatible (SC) species, as pollen of SI species is compatible on the SC pistil, but not vice versa. Many examples of unilateral incompatibility, and all those which have been studied most intensively, are found in the Solanaceae, particularly Lycopersicon, Solanum, Nicotiana and Petunia. The genus Capsicum is evolutionarily somewhat distant from Lycopersicon and Solanum and even further removed from Nicotiana and Petunia. Unilateral incompatibility has also been reported in Capsicum; however, this is the first comprehensive study of crosses between all readily available species in the genus. METHODS: All readily available (wild and domesticated) species in the genus are used as plant material, including the three genera from the Capsicum pubescens complex plus eight other species. Pollinations were made on pot-grown plants in a glasshouse. The number of pistils pollinated per cross varied (from five to 40 pistils per plant), depending on the numbers of flowers available. Pistils were collected 24 h after pollination and fixed for 3-24 h. After staining, pistils were mounted in a drop of stain, squashed gently under a cover slip and examined microscopically under ultra-violet light for pollen tube growth. KEY RESULTS: Unilateral incompatibility is confirmed in the C. pubescens complex. Its direction conforms to that predominant in the Solanaceae and other families, i.e. pistils of self-incompatible species, or self-compatible taxa closely related to self-incompatible species, inhibit pollen tubes of self-compatible species. CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral incompatibility in Capsicum does not seem to have arisen to prevent introgression of self-compatibility into self-incompatible taxa, but as a by-product of divergence of the C. pubescens complex from the remainder of the genus. 相似文献

The F-box protein AhSLF-S2 physically interacts with S-RNases that may be inhibited by the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway of protein degradation during compatible pollination in Antirrhinum 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26

Self-incompatibility S-locus-encoded F-box (SLF) proteins have been identified in Antirrhinum and several Prunus species. Although they appear to play an important role in self-incompatible reaction, functional evidence is lacking. Here, we provide several lines of evidence directly implicating a role of AhSLF-S(2) in self-incompatibility in Antirrhinum. First, a nonallelic physical interaction between AhSLF-S(2) and S-RNases was demonstrated by both coimmunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid assays. Second, AhSLF-S(2) interacts with ASK1- and CULLIN1-like proteins in Antirrhinum, and together, they likely form an Skp1/Cullin or CDC53/F-box (SCF) complex. Third, compatible pollination was specifically blocked after the treatment of the proteasomal inhibitors MG115 and MG132, but they had little effect on incompatible pollination both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that the ubiquitin/26S proteasome activity is involved in compatible pollination. Fourth, the ubiquitination level of style proteins was increased substantially after compatible pollination compared with incompatible pollination, and coimmunoprecipitation revealed that S-RNases were ubiquitinated after incubating pollen proteins with compatible but not with incompatible style proteins, suggesting that non-self S-RNases are possibly degraded by the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway. Fifth, the S-RNase level appeared to be reduced after 36 h of compatible pollination. Taken together, these results show that AhSLF-S(2) interacts with S-RNases likely through a proposed SCF(AhSLF-S2) complex that targets S-RNase destruction during compatible rather than incompatible pollination, thus providing a biochemical basis for the inhibition of pollen tube growth as observed in self-incompatible response in Antirrhinum. 相似文献

In the pollen-pistil system of petunia (Petunia hybrida L.) self-compatible and self-incompatible clones within 7 h after self-pollination, we determined the content of ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic
acid), the activity of two enzymes (ACC synthase and ACC oxidase), and the rate of ethylene production. Depending on the type
of pollination, germination of pollen on the stigma surface and the pollen tube growth in the tissues of style were accompanied
by different levels of ACC and ethylene release. The pollen-pistil system of the self-compatible clone contained twice more
ACC than in the self-incompatible clone, whereas the pollen-pistil system in the self-incompatible clone produced 4–5 times
more ethylene than in the self-compatible clone. For both types of pollination, ACC and ethylene were predominantly produced
in the stigma tissues. The rate of ethylene production therein was 50 times greater than in the styles and ovaries, and the
content of ACC was 100 times higher than in the styles and ovaries. Germination of male gametophyte after both types of pollination
was accompanied by elevated ACC synthase activity (especially in the case of compatible pollination), whereas notable increase
in ACC oxidase activity was manifested in growing pollen tubes after self-incompatible pollination 相似文献

A new self-compatibility haplotype in the sweet cherry 'Kronio', S5', attributable to a pollen-part mutation in the SFB gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

'Kronio' is a Sicilian cultivar of sweet cherry (Prunus avium), nominally with the incompatibility genotype S(5)S(6), that is reported to be naturally self-compatible. In this work the cause of its self-compatibility was investigated. Test selfing confirmed self-compatibility and provided embryos for analysis; PCR with consensus primers designed to amplify S-RNase and SFB alleles showed that the embryos were of two types, S(5)S(5) and S(5)S(6), indicating that S(6) pollen failed, but S(5) succeeded, perhaps because of a mutation in the pollen or stylar component. Stylar RNase analysis indicated active S-RNases for both S(5) and S(6). The S-RNase alleles were cloned and sequenced; and sequences encode functional proteins. Cloning and sequencing of SFB alleles showed that S(6) was normal but S(5) had a premature stop codon upstream of the variable region HVa resulting in a truncated protein. Therefore, the self-compatibility can be attributed to a pollen-part mutation of S(5), designated S(5)', the first reported case of breakdown of self-incompatibility in diploid sweet cherry caused by a natural mutation at the S-locus. The second intron of the S-RNase associated with S(5)' contained a microsatellite smaller than that associated with S(5); primers designed to amplify across this microsatellite effectively distinguished S(5) from S(5)'. Analysis of some other Sicilian cherries with these primers indicated that S(5)' is also present in the Sicilian cultivar 'Maiolina a Rappu', and this proved to be self-compatible. 相似文献

Recently, we have provided evidence that the polymorphic self-incompatibility (S) locus-encoded F-box (SLF) protein AhSLF-S(2) plays a role in mediating a selective S-RNase destruction during the self-incompatible response in Antirrhinum hispanicum. To investigate its role further, we first transformed a transformation-competent artificial chromosome clone (TAC26) containing both AhSLF-S(2) and AhS(2)-RNase into a self-incompatible (SI) line of Petunia hybrida. Molecular analyses showed that both genes are correctly expressed in pollen and pistil in four independent transgenic lines of petunia. Pollination tests indicated that all four lines became self-compatible because of the specific loss of the pollen function of SI. This alteration was transmitted stably into the T1 progeny. We then transformed AhSLF-S(2) cDNA under the control of a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) pollen-specific promoter LAT52 into the self-incompatible petunia line. Molecular studies revealed that AhSLF-S(2) is specifically expressed in pollen of five independent transgenic plants. Pollination tests showed that they also had lost the pollen function of SI. Importantly, expression of endogenous SLF or SLF-like genes was not altered in these transgenic plants. These results phenocopy a well-known phenomenon called competitive interaction whereby the presence of two different pollen S alleles within pollen leads to the breakdown of the pollen function of SI in several solanaceaous species. Furthermore, we demonstrated that AhSLF-S(2) physically interacts with PhS(3)-RNase from the P. hybrida line used for transformation. Together with the recent demonstration of PiSLF as the pollen determinant in P. inflata, these results provide direct evidence that the polymorphic SLF including AhSLF-S(2) controls the pollen function of S-RNase-based self-incompatibility. 相似文献

Although Petunia axillaris subsp. axillaris is described as a self-incompatible taxon, some of the natural populations we have identified in Uruguay are composed of both self-incompatible and self-compatible plants. Here, we studied the self-incompatibility (SI) behavior of 50 plants derived from such a mixed population, designated U83, and examined the cause of the breakdown of SI. Thirteen plants were found to be self-incompatible, and the other 37 were found to be self-compatible. A total of 14 S-haplotypes were represented in these 50 plants, including two that we had previously identified from another mixed population, designated U1. All the 37 self-compatible plants carried either an S(C1)- or an S(C2)-haplotype. S(C1)S(C1) and S(C2)S(C2) homozygotes were generated by self-pollination of two of the self-compatible plants, and they were reciprocally crossed with 40 self-incompatible S-homozygotes (S(1)S(1) through S(40)S(40)) generated from plants identified from three mixed populations, including U83. The S(C1)S(C1) homozygote was reciprocally compatible with all the genotypes examined. The S(C2)S(C2) homozygote accepted pollen from all but the S(17)S(17) homozygote (identified from the U1 population), but the S(17)S(17) homozygote accepted pollen from the S(C2)S(C2) homozygote. cDNAs encoding S(C2)- and S(17)-RNases were cloned and sequenced, and their nucleotide sequences were completely identical. Analysis of bud-selfed progeny of heterozygotes carrying S(C1) or S(C2) showed that the SI behavior of S(C1) and S(C2) was identical to that of S(C1) and S(C2) homozygotes, respectively. All these results taken together suggested that the S(C2)-haplotype was a mutant form of the S(17)-haplotype, with the defect lying in the pollen function. The possible nature of the mutation is discussed. 相似文献

S RNase and Interspecific Pollen Rejection in the Genus Nicotiana: Multiple Pollen-Rejection Pathways Contribute to Unilateral Incompatibility between Self-Incompatible and Self-Compatible Species 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In self-incompatible (SI) plants, the S locus acts to prevent growth of self-pollen and thus promotes outcrossing within the species. Interspecific crosses between SI and self-compatible (SC) species often show unilateral incompatibility that follows the SI x SC rule: SI species reject pollen from SC species, but the reciprocal crosses are usually compatible. The general validity of the SI x SC rule suggests a link between SI and interspecific pollen rejection; however, this link has been questioned because of a number of exceptions to the rule. To clarify the role of the S locus in interspecific pollen rejection, we transformed several Nicotiana species and hybrids with genes encoding SA2 or SC10 RNase from SI N. alata. Compatibility phenotypes in the transgenic plants were tested using pollen from three SC species showing unilateral incompatibility with N. alata. S RNase was implicated in rejecting pollen from all three species. Rejection of N. plumbaginifolia pollen was similar to S allele-specific pollen rejection, showing a requirement for both S RNase and other genetic factors from N. alata. In contrast, S RNase-dependent rejection of N. glutinosa and N. tabacum pollen proceeded without these additional factors. N. alata also rejects pollen from the latter two species through an S RNase-independent mechanism. Our results implicate the S locus in all three systems, but it is clear that multiple mechanisms contribute to interspecific pollen rejection. 相似文献

Summary Homozygous diploid plants originating from pollen of self-incompatible Solanum chacoense clone IP33 were analysed genetically. Among the tested individuals, two were self-compatible. As expected, all the regenerants were compatible, as pistillate parent, with the mother clone. However, three plants also displayed compatibility in the reciprocal crosses. Abnormal S-gene behaviour was observed when some androgenetic plants were intercrossed. In addition in the F1 hybrids between doubled haploids, the S-gene did not appear to function as expected, suggesting that some changes, possibly the generation of new S-alleles, had occurred. 相似文献
