Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms in plants involve the recognition of self-pollen by specific interactions between pollen ligands and stigma receptors, culminating in the rejection of self-pollen. This study reveals that in heading Chinese cabbage, high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in stigma papilla cells mediate the SI response, leading to the rejection of self-pollen.
Most plants in the Brassicaceae evolve self-incompatibility (SI) to avoid inbreeding and generate hybrid vigor. Self-pollen is recognized by the S-haplotype-specific interaction of the pollen ligand S-locus protein 11 (SP11) (also known as S-locus cysteine-rich protein [SCR]) and its stigma-specific S-locus receptor kinase (SRK). However, mechanistically much remains unknown about the signaling events that culminate in self pollen rejection. Here, we show that self-pollen triggers high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in stigma papilla cells to mediate SI in heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis). We found that stigmatic ROS increased after self-pollination but decreased after compatible(CP)-pollination. Reducing stigmatic ROS by scavengers or suppressing the expression of respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rbohs), which encode plant NADPH oxidases that produce ROS, both broke down SI. On the other hand, increasing the level of ROS inhibited the germination and penetration of compatible pollen on the stigma, mimicking an incompatible response. Furthermore, suppressing a B. rapa FERONIA (FER) receptor kinase homolog or Rac/ Rop guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) signaling effectively reduced stigmatic ROS and interfered with SI. Our results suggest that FER-Rac/Rop signaling-regulated, NADPH oxidase-produced ROS is an essential SI response leading to self-pollen rejection.
