Homeotic transformation of stamens into pistil-like structures (pistillody) has been reported in cytoplasmic substitution (alloplasmic) lines of bread wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) that have the cytoplasm of a related wild species,Aegilops crassa. An ectopic ovule differentiates in the pistil-like stamen in the alloplasmic wheat. TheSEEDSTICK(STK)—like class D MADS-box gene,wheat STK(WSTK), was expressed in the primordia of ectopic ovules in the pistil-like stamens as well as in the true pistil, suggesting that ectopic ovule formation results fromWSTKexpression in the pistil-like stamens of alloplasmic wheat. The ectopic ovule is abnormal as it fails to form complete integuments. Based on the expression pattern ofWSTKand BsisterMADS-box gene,WBsis(wheat Bsister), we conclude thatWSTKplays a role in determination of ovule identity in the pistil-like stamen, but complete ovule development fails due to aberrant expression ofWBsis.
