Sequence Variability and Developmental Expression of S-Alleles in Self-Incompatible and Pseudo-Self-Compatible Petunia

We investigated the structure and expression of three S-alleles of Petunia
hybrida in self-incompatible varieties and in a pseudo-self-compatible line
in which the self-incompatibility response is defective. Comparison of
derived amino acid sequences from different gametophytic S-alleles revealed
a pattern of sequence conservation and variability that was highly
nonrandom. In self-incompatible varieties, petunia S-locus mRNA accumulates
preferentially in styles during the transition from bud self-compatibility
to self-incompatibility. S-Allele sequences homologous to the cloned S1
allele were present in a pseudo-self-compatible variety, and were expressed
at levels indistinguishable from those observed in a self-incompatible line
homozygous for the S1, allele. Taken together, our data indicate that (1)
limited sequence differences may confer allelic specificity, (2) S-locus
mRNAs accumulate in a precise organ-specific pattern during floral
development, and (3) the ability to inhibit the growth of incompatible
pollen tubes appears to require a threshold accumulation of the stylar gene
product, along with the participation of as yet undefined pollen gene
products.
