Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism to prevent self-fertilization and thereby promote outcrossing in hermaphroditic plant species through discrimination of self and nonself-pollen by pistils. In many SI systems, recognition between pollen and pistils is controlled by a single multiallelic locus (called the S-locus), in which multiple alleles (called S-alleles) are segregating. Because of the extreme level of polymorphism of the S-locus, identification of S-alleles has been a major issue in many SI studies for decades.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates key RNA silencing components (AGO, DCL, and RDR) in centipedegrass, a turfgrass species, highlighting their roles in small RNA generation and stress responses, which are crucial for plant development.
  • - Researchers identified 20 AGO, 6 DCL, and 10 RDR genes through genome-wide analysis, examining their characteristics, evolutionary relationships, and expression patterns under various stress conditions (cold, salt, drought).
  • - Findings show that most genes are upregulated during stress, suggesting specialized functions, and the comprehensive analysis lays the groundwork for future studies on RNA silencing and stress responses in turfgrass.

Poly-A tail length dynamics have been extensively studied from yeast to human, mostly using reporter transcripts. Recent studies have been carried out genome-wide to determine the status of poly-A tails at steady state. However, poly-A tail measurement at equilibrium gives an overall length that reflects a mixture of the different poly-A tail sizes for a single transcript.
