Self-incompatibility and other pollen-pistil interactions.

نویسنده

چکیده

Self-incompatibility allows plants to recognize and reject pollen from the same plant, thereby reducing inbreeding. Although in most cases self-incompatibility is controlled by a single genetic locus, recent results show that surprisingly complex signal transduction pathways and many players are involved in pollen recognition and rejection.

Pollen-pistil interactions and self-incompatibility in the Asteraceae: new insights from studies of Senecio squalidus (Oxford ragwort).

BACKGROUND Pollen-pistil interactions are an essential prelude to fertilization in angiosperms and determine compatibility/incompatibility. Pollen-pistil interactions have been studied at a molecular and cellular level in relatively few families. Self-incompatibility (SI) is the best understood pollen-pistil interaction at a molecular level where three different molecular mechanisms have been i...

Peptide signaling in pollen-pistil interactions.

Plant fertilization is achieved through the involvement of various pollen-pistil interactions. Self-/non-self-recognition in pollination is important to avoid inbreeding, and directional and sustainable control of pollen tube growth is critical for the pollen tube to deliver male germ cells. Recently, various secreted peptides (polypeptides) have been reported to be involved in cell-cell commun...

Proteomics Advances in the Understanding of Pollen–Pistil Interactions

The first key point to the successful pollination and fertilization in plants is the pollen-pistil interaction, referring to the cellular and molecular levels, which mainly involve the haploid pollen and the diploid pistil. The process is defined as "siphonogamy", which starts from the capture of pollen by the epidermis of stigma and ends up with the fusion of sperm with egg. So far, the studie...

Pollen-Pistil Interactions and Their Role in Mate Selection.

As a group, the flowering plants have remarkably diverse modes of reproduction that run the gamut from clonal propagation to obligate outcrossing. Articles in this volume focus on sexual reproduction, and there is great diversity even within this slice of the reproduction spectrum. Like all diverse systems, reproductive characters are the end results of molecular and genetic mechanisms that gen...

The Papaver Self-Incompatibility Pollen S-Determinant, PrpS, Functions in Arabidopsis thaliana

Many angiosperms use specific interactions between pollen and pistil proteins as "self" recognition and/or rejection mechanisms to prevent self-fertilization. Self-incompatibility (SI) is encoded by a multiallelic S locus, comprising pollen and pistil S-determinants. In Papaver rhoeas, cognate pistil and pollen S-determinants, PrpS, a pollen-expressed transmembrane protein, and PrsS, a pistil-e...
