During the pollination process in Brassicaceae, pollen and papilla cells at the tip of the pistil communicate with each other and trigger various physiological responses such as pollen hydration/germination and self-incompatibility. It was thought that papilla cells drastically change their cellular environment to conduct water and calcium-ion release and to provide an energy source for pollen germination and pollen-tube elongation (Doucet et al., 2016). For example, actin reorganization and transport of vesicles containing calcium ions to plasma membranes occur during compatible pollination, and calcium-ion dynamics in the cytoplasm are changed during self-incompatible pollination (Iwano et al., 2015; Doucet et al., 2016). Exocytosis in papilla cells is also an essential process for effective compatible pollination (Samuel et al., 2009). Unraveling signaling pathways regulating these responses is an important task in understanding the basic mechanism of the pollination process and improving crop-breeding strategies.The initiation signal for the self-incompatibility response in Brassicaceae is well studied (Takayama and Isogai, 2005). S-locus protein 11/S cysteine-rich peptide ligand (SP11/SCR) and S-receptor kinase (SRK) are the determinants at the pollen coat and plasma membrane in papilla cells, respectively. Both of these proteins are encoded in the S-locus, and there is a series of haplotypes (S-haplotype), the genetic barcodes of self-/non-self-discrimination. SP11 binds to SRK if they originate from the same S-haplotype (self-pollination). SRK when activated by SP11-binding phosphorylates downstream factors, and self-pollen hydration, germination, and/or penetration processes are inhibited. Compared with this well-studied self-rejection mechanism, signal pathways for compatible pollination, the pistil mechanism to accept pollen, remain much less investigated.
