Abstract excerpt
The coordinate evolution of self-incompatibility (SI) and stigma-anther separation, two mechanisms that promote cross-pollination in plants, has been a long-standing puzzle in evolution and development. Using a transgenic self-incompatible Arabidopsis thaliana model, we performed screens for mutants exhibiting a modified SI response. A mutation in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase RDR6, which functions in...
