Molecular Genetics of Sporophytic Self-Incompatibility in Ipomoea, aMember of the Convolvulaceae

  • Chapter
Self-Incompatibility in Flowering Plants

Abstract

Diploid Ipomoea trifida in the Convolvulaceae is a close relative of the cultivated hexaploid species, the sweet potato, and has sporophytic self-incompatibility controlled by a single multi-allelic S-locus. Genetic analyses of I. trifida plants collected from native populations in Central America have identified a number of different S-haplotypes, which show a linear dominance hierarchy with some codominance relationships. A linkage map of DNA markers showed that the S-locus is delimited to a 0.23 cM region and is located in the S-haplotype-specific divergent region (SDR) that has a physical size of 35–95 kb. Of the six genes located within the SDR, three stigma-specific novel genes, SE1, SE2 and SEA, and an antherspecific gene, AB2, are candidates for encoding pistil and pollen determinants of self-incompatibility, respectively, suggesting that a unique recognition mechanism is involved in the self-incompatibility system of Ipomoea.
