Female self-incompatibility type in heterostylous Primula is determined by the brassinosteroid-inactivating cytochrome P450 CYP734A50

Cuong Nguyen Huu et al.

Summary: Most flowering plants have both male and female reproductive organs, with a widespread adaptation to limit self-fertilization known as self-incompatibility (SI). In some flowering plants, different mating types are associated with different floral morphologies. In the heterostylous plant Primula, a specific gene controls style length and determines the mating types. Furthermore, this gene also determines the female incompatibility type. The findings suggest that brassinosteroid (BR) levels in the stigma and style play a role in controlling pollen performance and prevent self-fertilization.

Comparative Genomics Elucidates the Origin of a Supergene Controlling Floral Heteromorphism

Giacomo Potente et al.

Summary: The study presented the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of Primula veris, revealing the evolution of the S locus via multiple gene duplications and independent translocations. A new whole-genome duplication specific to the Primula lineage in Ericales was also discovered. The study proposed a mechanism for the origin of S-locus hemizygosity via nonhomologous recombination and provided insights into the evolution of supergenes and genome architecture.

Perception of a conserved family of plant signalling peptides by the receptor kinase HSL3

Jack Rhodes et al.

Summary: This study reports on a previously uncharacterised family of plant signalling peptides, CTNIPs, and identifies the orphan receptor HSL3 as their receptor. The HSL3-CTNIP signalling module is conserved in most extant angiosperms. This discovery is important for understanding the diverse functions of plant signalling peptides and receptor-ligand co-evolution.

Genomic analyses of the Linum distyly supergene reveal convergent evolution at the molecular level

Juanita Gutierrez-Valencia et al.

Summary: This study characterized the genetic architecture and evolution of the distyly supergene in Linum, showing that hemizygosity and thrum-specific expression of S-linked genes are major features. Structural variation plays a key role in recombination suppression, and S-linked genes are under purifying selection. These findings provide insights into the origin and maintenance of floral polymorphism.

The S-Gene YUC6 Pleiotropically Determines Male Mating Type and Pollen Size in Heterostylous Turnera (Passifloraceae): A Novel Neofunctionalization of the YUCCA Gene Family

Paige M. Henning et al.

Summary: A study has found that a member of the YUCCA gene family, YUC6, in heterostylous, self-incompatible Turnera species, determines the male mating type by regulating pollen size and physiological characteristics, without affecting the length dimorphism of filaments in anthers. This discovery reveals the biochemical basis and developmental window of male mating type.

Pistil Mating Type and Morphology Are Mediated by the Brassinosteroid Inactivating Activity of the S-Locus Gene BAHD in Heterostylous Turnera Species

Courtney M. Matzke et al.

Summary: Heterostyly promotes outbreeding through a single S-locus gene mutation in Turnera, causing self-compatibility. Furthermore, brassinosteroid inactivation plays a key role in regulating outcrossing, while differential gene expression in pistils mediated by brassinosteroids is the main mechanism of self-incompatibility.

High-Resolution Transcriptome Atlas and Improved Genome Assembly of Common Buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum

Aleksey A. Penin et al.

Summary: This study reported the assembly of the buckwheat genome using long-read technology and a high-resolution expression atlas, revealing the high content of transposable elements in the buckwheat genome. The difference in TE content was found to be a major factor contributing to the increase in genome size of buckwheat. Additionally, differences in TE content between wild ancestral subspecies and cultivars were detected, suggesting TE activity accompanied buckwheat domestication.
