The making of gametes in higher plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Higher plants have evolved to be one of the predominant life forms on this planet. A great deal of this evolutionary success relies in a very short gametophytic phase which underlies the sexual reproduction cycle. Sexual plant reproduction takes place in

S‐RNase Internalisation and Vacuolar Targeting via Clathrin‐Dependent Endocytosis Mediate Interspecific Pollen Rejection in Nicotiana

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT In Nicotiana, the multiallelic S‐locus controls self‐incompatibility (SI), which encodes S‐RNases in the pollen's pistil and S‐locus F‐box (SLF) proteins. Their interaction mediates S allele‐specific pollen rejection, preventing self‐fertilisation.

Exploration of the T. cacao genome sequence to decipher the incompatibility system of Theobroma cacao and to identify diagnostic markers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We explored the Theobroma cacao genome sequence to progress in the knowledge of the T. cacao incompatibility system. Cocoa self-compatibility is an important yield factor and has been described as controlled by a late gameto-sporophytic system involving ...

Advancements in hybrid rice production: improvements in male sterility and synthetic apomixis for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 2330-2345, June 2025.
Summary Rice serves as a staple food for approximately half of the world's population, and enhanced yields from hybrid rice play a crucial role in ensuring food security and augmenting incomes. However, the annual purchase and high cost of hybrid seeds hinder widespread hybrid rice adoption.

PollenCALC: Software for estimation of pollen compatibility of self-incompatible allo- and autotetraploid species

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background Self-incompatibility (SI) is a biological mechanism to avoid inbreeding in allogamous plants. In grasses, this mechanism is controlled by a two-locus system (S-Z).

Population genetics of self-incompatibility in a clade of relict cliff-dwelling plant species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The mating systems of species in small or fragmented populations impact upon their persistence. Small self-incompatible (SI) populations risk losing S allele diversity, responsible for the SI response, by drift thereby limiting mate availability and ...

EVOLUTION OF GAMETOPHYTIC AND SPOROPHYTIC SYSTEMS OF SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY IN ANGIOSPERMS [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1960
Self-incompatibility has been found in at least 78 angiosperm families and occurs in every major phylogenetic line (East, 1940; Fryxell, 1957; Brewbaker, 1957). It has even been discovered in at least three gymnosperm species (Pinus sylvestrisGustaffson, cited by Bateman, 1952; Larix laricina, Pseudotsuga taxifoliaFryxell, 1957), and one pteridophyte ...

A Tobacco Homolog of DCN1 is Involved in Cellular Reprogramming and in Developmental Transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plant proteomes show remarkable plasticity in reaction to environmental challenges and during developmental transitions. Some of this adaptability comes from ubiquitin-mediated protein destruction regulated by cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs ...
