The effect of sheltered load on reproduction in Solanum carolinense, a species with variable self-incompatibility [PDF]
In previous studies, we have investigated the strength of self-incompatibility (SI) in Solanum carolinense, a highly successful weed with a fully functional SI system that inhabits early successional and other disturbed habitats.

The bracteatus pineapple genome and domestication of clonally propagated crops [PDF]
Domestication of clonally propagated crops such as pineapple from South America was hypothesized to be a 'one-step operation'. We sequenced the genome of Ananas comosus var.

Fragaria viridis exhibits S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility, in which S-RNase is the major factor inhibiting pollen tube growth. However, the pathways involved in and the immediate causes of the inhibition of pollen tube growth remain ...

Protomer alignment modulates specificity of RNA substrate recognition by Ire1
The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains protein folding homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In metazoan cells, the Ire1 branch of the UPR initiates two functional outputs—non-conventional mRNA splicing and selective mRNA decay (RIDD). By

Convergent evolution at the gametophytic self-incompatibility system in Malus and Prunus.
S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) has evolved once before the split of the Asteridae and Rosidae. This conclusion is based on the phylogenetic history of the S-RNase that determines pistil specificity.

A RNase P Ribozyme Inhibits Gene Expression and Replication of Hepatitis B Virus in Cultured Cells
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), an international public health concern, is a leading viral cause of liver disease, such as hepatocellular carcinoma. Sequence-specific ribozymes derived from ribonuclease P (RNase P) catalytic RNA are being explored for gene ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals self-incompatibility in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) might be under gametophytic control [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Self-incompatibility (SI) is under genetic control and prevents inbreeding depression in angiosperms. SI mechanisms are quite complicated and still poorly understood in many plants.

S-RNase–mediated Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility is Ancestral in Eudicots [PDF]
The evolutionary relationship between self-incompatibility systems in different families of flowering plants has long been a topic of interest. Physiological differences in the mode of gene action and the enormous sequence differences between genes with different modes of action suggest that many instances of self-incompatibility have arisen ...

Sequence characterization and evolutionary analysis of S-RNase gene among five genera Pomoideae [PDF]
[Objective] In order to avoid self-pollination, self-incompatibility is a common phenomenon in 5 genera in Pyridae fruit trees during evolution. In order to understand the latest isolation and identification of S-RNase gene in pear incompatibility, we ...

Flowering and pollination studies with European plum (Prunus domestica L.) cultivars [PDF]
One of the most important factors affecting the financial outcome of commercial fruit growing is the success of pollination and fertilization, which in turn are dependent on weather conditions, activity of pollinators and the compatibility and overlap in
