Researchers Find Regulatory Self-pollination Genes

Some plants need to pass pollen through the medium, but others can use self-pollination to achieve mating. Imagine that if there is no medium for pollen transmission, only those plants that can self-pollinate will survive. Professor June Nasrallah said: "The long-term goal of this study is to understand why self-pollination cannot occur in plants that are "self-incompatibility," and the discovery of the PUB8 gene may serve as an annotation." The study was published in the April 17 issue of Current Biology.

For a long time, Nasrallah’s research team has used Arabidopsisthaliana as a research model. This plant is widely used in genetic research. The researchers have previously discovered that SCR and SRK genes are the key to the plant’s “self-incompatibility”. gene. The SCR-translated protein will be on the surface of pollen grains, while the SRK-expressing protein is the receptor on the stigma cell membrane surface. When the two proteins are in the same plant, the stigma will reject the pollen and cannot reach the result of pollination.

Arabidopsis has a high degree of self-propagation, but when the researchers placed the SCR and SRK genes, they produced pseudoself-compatible, that is, when the pollen was unable to come from other plants. Only self-pollination will occur. Prof. Nasrallah said: “This is a very good strategy for plant mating, because almost no media is required to receive it.” Another researcher Pei Liu also found that the PUB8 gene in the genome is likely to regulate SRK performance because of the PUB8 gene. The mutation is closely related to the phenomenon of false self-pollination. From an evolutionary point of view, the PUB8 gene may be a key gene that regulates pseudoself-pollination to the plant's "self-incompatibility".
