A Cryptic Modifier Causing Transient Self-Incompatibility in Arabidopsis thaliana
Breakdown of the pollination barrier of self-incompatibility (SI) in older flowers, a phenomenon known as pseudo-self-compatibility or transient SI, has been described as an advantageous reproductive assurance strategy that allows selfing after opportunities for out-crossing have been exhausted [1-9]. Pseudo-self-compatibility is quite prevalent as a mixed mating strategy in nature, but the und...
متن کاملEvolutionary pathways to self-fertilization in a tristylous plant species.
Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing occur commonly in heterostylous genera. The morphological polymorphisms that characterize heterostyly provide opportunities for different pathways for selfing to evolve. Here, we investigate the origins and pathways by which selfing has evolved in tristylous Eichhornia paniculata by providing new evidence based on morphology, DNA sequences an...
متن کاملSelf-incompatibility in Papaver
Self-fertilization, which results in reduced fitness of offspring, is a common problem in hermaphrodite angiosperms. To prevent this, many plants utilize self-incompatibility (SI), which is determined by the multi-allelic S locus, that allows discrimination between self (incompatible) and non-self (compatible) pollen by the pistil. In poppy (Papaver rhoeas), the pistil S-determinant (PrsS) is a...
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 کاملRecognizing self in the self-incompatibility response.
François Jacob once facetiously lamented the arrangement in the human body whereby reproduction is the only function for which an individual is equipped with only one-half of the necessary organs, thus entailing the expenditure of a substantial amount of time and energy into finding the other half (10). The spatial separation of the sexual partners (or organs) is indeed an obligatory feature of...
