This review described both the identification of pollen specific F-box genes, SLF/SFBs, in Antirrhinum, Petunia and Prunus species and the demonstration of SLF/SFB as pollen determinant together with their functions in GSI response. Recent studies of how the pollen determinant functions in pollination reaction revealed that pollen determinant interacted with S-RNases in a non-allele-specific manner. It targeted all of the non-self S-RNases for ubiquitination through a functional SCF complex and subsequent degradation via 26S proteasome pathway in compatible reaction. It allows pollen tube to reach into the embryo sac and to finish double fertilization. In incompatible response, the intact self S-RNases were left to function as a cytotoxin that degrades self-pollen tube RNA, resulting in the cessation of pollen tube growth.展开更多

The S 1 self-incompatibility locus-linked pollen 3.15 gene （S1-3.15） belongs to a type of S locus gene. The role of S1-3.15 in the SI reaction of Citrus has not yet been reported. In this study, full-length sequences of cDNA and DNA encoding the S1-3.15 gene, referred to as CrS1-3.15 , were isolated from ‘Wuzishatangju’ （Self-incompatibility, SI） and ‘Shatangju’ （Self-compatibility, SC） . The predicted amino acid sequences of CrS1-3.15 between ‘Wuzishatangju’ and ‘Shatangju’ differ by only three amino acids. Compared to ‘Wuzishatangju’, three bases were substituted in the genomic DNA of CrS1-3.15 from ‘Shatangju’. Southern blot results showed that one copy of CrS1-3.15 existed in the genomic DNA of both ‘Wuzishatangju’ and ‘Shatangju’. The expression level of the CrS1-3.15 gene in the ovaries of ‘Shatangju’ was approximately 60-fold higher than that in the ovaries of ‘Wuzishatangju’. When ‘Wuzishatangju’ was cross-pollinated, the expression of CrS1-3.15 was upregulated in the ovaries at 3d, and the highest expression levels were detected in the ovaries at 6d after cross-pollination of ‘Wuzishatangju’ × ‘Shatangju’. To obtain the CrS1-3.15 protein, the full-length cDNA of CrS1-3.15 genes from ‘Wuzishatangju’ and ‘Shatangju’ was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. Pollen germination frequency of ‘Wuzishatangju’ was inhibited significantly with increasing CrS1-3.15 protein concentrations from SI ‘Wuzishatangju’.展开更多

Self-incompatibility (SI) is an intraspecific reproductive barrier to prevent selfferitilization and widely distributed in flowering plants. In many species, SI shows simplegenetics and is controlled by a single multi-allelic locus, called the S locus. In gametophyticSI (GSI) exemplified by the Solanaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Rosaceae, a class ofribonucleases, called S RNases, have been shown to mediate the stylar expression of SI butnot the pollen expression of SI. The latter appears to be determined by a gene differentfrom those encoding S RNases, often referred to as pollen S gene. The pollen S gene is thecrucial missing part in understanding the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of self andnon-self pollen recognition in flowering plants. Recent genetic analysis of mutationsaffecting the pollen expression of SI has suggested a possible model of how the pollen S geneinteracts with S RNases to achieve self and non-self pollen recognition. Furthermore, wewill present two approaches, S-locus directed transposon tagging and map-based cloning, forcloning the pollen S in Antirrhinum.展开更多

DNA sequence analysis ...A new selfincompatibility gene was isolated and identified from Pyrus bretschneideri cultivars of Yingzhiqing and Daaoao via PCR amplification, DNA sequence analysis and cross pollination tests. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the isolated fragment displayed a high homology with S 1 ～S 11 allele, and the identity to S 1 ～S 11 allele at the deduced amino level ranged from 56% to 72%; the high degree of variances in the hypervariable （HV） region resulted from the presence of substitution, deletion and insertion of 9 to 15 amino acids. The new Sallele was named S 12 RNase and its accession number was AY250987 in GeneBank. The sizes of HV region, intron, signal peptide, C1 region, C2 region were 39 AA, 341 bp, 27 AA, 11 AA and 10 AA, respectively. The cross pollination tests were carried out using Pyrus pyrifolia cultivars that contained S 1 ～S9RNase genes as female parents, and the cultivars of Daaoao and Yingzhiqing as male parents, respectively. The results showed that all of {%P.pyrifolia%} cultivars were compatible with Daaoao and Yingzhiqing, whereas the cross pollination between Daaoao and Yingzhiqing were incompatible, further confirming that the DNA fragment isolated was a new Sgene.展开更多

Total RNA was isolated from their styles at the balloon stage. DNA and cDNA were amplified through PCR using AS1 Ⅱ and ArmyC5R as primers designed according to the conserved (C1,C5) sequences of Rosaceae S-RNases. Three S-RNase genes,P.a S8 from ‘Katy’ and P.a S9,P.a S10 from ‘Xinshiji’,were amplified and cloned. Amplified DNA bands were different sizes: P.a S8 of 927 bp,P.a S9 of 992 bp,P.a S10 of 583 bp,and cDNA bands were 521 bp,521 bp,479 bp,respectively. The results of Blastn in GenBank showed that they were novel S-RNase genes and they have been deposited in GenBank (Accession No.: AY884212,AY864826,AY864825,AY853594 and AY846872). Genomic sequences showed an intron structure between C1 and C5 region. The introns of P.a S8,P.a S9,and P.a S10 were 406 bp,471 bp,104 bp and lay in the hypervariable region (RHV) between C2 and C3. Three genes were compared and displayed similarity at the nucleotide and deduced amino acid level. Most of amino acid sequences of S-RNase gene in Prunoideae (Rosaceae) were used to form their phyligenetic tree. The evolutionary relationships showed S-RNase genes did not form a distinct cluster within species. Intra-species similarity was not higher than inter-species one. Therefore,we speculated that the evolutionary of S-RNase genes in Prunoideae was not consisted with that of species.展开更多
