GENETICS OF THE SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY (S-) LOCI

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 目前，我们正集中在经验方面的自我不相容性 (S-)基因座进化 自交不亲和性（SI）是植物防止近亲繁殖的遗传机制。S基因座决定了交配的特异性（谁可以和谁交配），类似于人类的性染色体。 此外，S基因座经历类似于MHC基因座的进化力量，因为两个SI MHC都是自我/非自我识别的机制。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Currently, we are focusing on empirical side of self-incompatibility (S-) locus evolution. Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism to prevent inbreeding in plants. S-locus determines mating specificities (who can mate with whom), and analogous to sex chromosome in human. Additionally, S-locus experiences evolutionary forces similar to MHC loci because both SI MHC are mechanisms of self-/nonself-recognition.
