Abstract
Pre-zygotic interspecific incompatibility prevents hybridization between species limiting interbreeding strategies for crop improvement using wild relatives. The Brassica rapa female self-incompatibility determinant, S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), recognizes interspecific pollen. Here we report the discovery of a pan-Brassicaceae SRK-interacting Interspecific Pollen Signal (SIPS). On B. rapa stigmas, SIPSs from Arabidopsis and other Brassicaceae species target BrSRK and recruit the female fertility regulator FERONIA receptor kinase to increase stigmatic reactive oxygen species and reduce interspecific pollen viability. Arabidopsis sips pollen failed to trigger the interspecific incompatibility responses. Unlike self-incompatibility, which is controlled by the polymorphic S locus, different genetic variants of SRK interacted comparably with SIPS. This study establishes SIPS-SRK as a Brassicaceae-specific ligand-receptor pair that broadly maintains the stigmatic interspecific barrier in self-incompatible species.
植物には秘密の言語があり、科学者たちはそれを解読し始めたばかりだ 植物細胞壁からのシグナルは、成長、生殖、免疫機能の調整に役立ちます。この分子間の相互作用を利用することで、より良い作物の生産に役立つのでしょうか? Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?
