Phosphatidic acid counteracts S-RNase signaling in pollen by stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 2018 S-RNase is the female determinant of self-incompatibility (SI) in pear (Pyrus bretschneideri). After translocation to the pollen tube, S-RNase degrades rRNA and induces pollen tube death in an S-haplotype-specific manner. In this study, we found that the
