Key messageFunction ofPetuniaPiSSK1.AbstractSelf-incompatibility (SI), an inbreeding-preventing mechanism, is regulated inPetunia inflataby the polymorphicS-locus, which houses multiple pollen-specificS-locus F-box(SLF) genes and a single pistil-specificS-RNasegene.S2-haplotype andS3-haplotype possess the same 17 polymorphicSLFgenes (namedSLF1toSLF17), and each SLF protein produced in pollen is assembled into an SCF (Skp1–Cullin1–F-box) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. A complete suite of SLF proteins is thought to collectively interact with all non-self S-RNases to mediate their ubiquitination and degradation by the 26S proteasome, allowing cross-compatible pollination. For each SCFSLFcomplex, the Cullin1 subunit (named PiCUL1-P) and Skp1 subunit (named PiSSK1), like the F-box protein subunits (SLFs), are pollen-specific, raising the possibility that they also evolved specifically to function in SI. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9-meditated genome editing to generate frame-shift indel mutations inPiSSK1and examined the SI behavior of aT0plant (S2S3) with biallelic mutations in the pollen genome and two progeny plants (S2S2) each homozygous for one of the indel alleles and not carrying theCas9-containing T-DNA. Their pollen was completely incompatible with pistils of seven otherwise-compatibleS-genotypes, but fully compatible with pistils of anS3S3transgenic plant in which production of S3-RNase was completely suppressed by an antisenseS3-RNasegene, and with pistils of immature flower buds, which produce little S-RNase. These results suggest that PiSSK1 specifically functions in SI and support the hypothesis that SLF-containing SCF complexes are essential for compatible pollination.
