S-glycoproteins, i.e. stigma glycoproteins that are heritable in correlation with S allele in self-incompatible Brassica species, were apparently purified for three S alleles in B. oleracea. From SDS gel electrophoresis, the estimated molecular weight for two of the S-glycoproteins was 57,000. The other S-glycoprotein was considered to be heterogeneous with molecular weights of 60,000 and 65,000. Distinct differences in amino acid content were found; in general, cysteine, methionine and histidine were low, and serine, glutamate, glycine, leucine, arginine and aspartate were high and variable between the S-glycoproteins. Differences in the isoelectric point were mainly attributed to the amino acid composition of each S-glycoprotein.

The self-incompatibility system evolves in angiosperms to promote cross-pollination by rejecting self-pollination. Here, we show the involvement of Exo84c in the SI response of both Brassica napus and Arabidopsis. The expression of Exo84c is specifically elevated in stigma during the SI response.

Self-incompatibility plays a vital role in angiosperms, by preventing inbreeding depression and maintaining genetic diversity within populations. Following polyploidization, many angiosperm species transition from self-incompatibility to self-compatibility. Here, we investigated the S-locus in Brassicaceae and identified distinct origins for the sRNA loci, SMI and SMI2 (SCR Methylation Inducer 1 and 2), within the S-locus.

In Brassicaceae, the papillary cells of the stigma are the primary site of the self-incompatibility (SI) responses. SI preserves the genetic diversity by selectively rejecting irrelevant or incompatible pollen, thus promoting cross fertilization and species fitness. Mechanisms that regulate SI responses in have been studied mainly on the mature stigma that often undermines how stigma papillary cells attain the state of SI during development.
