Ancestral self-compatibility facilitates the establishment of allopolyploids in Brassicaceae
2023
Overview
Self-incompatibility systems based on self-recognition evolved in hermaphroditic plants to maintain genetic variation of offspring and mitigate inbreeding depression. Despite these benefits in diploid plants, for polyploids who often face a scarcity of mating partners, self-incompatibility can thwart reproduction. In contrast, self-
compatibility
provides an immediate advantage: a route to reproductive viability. Thus, diploid selfing lineages may facilitate the formation of new allopolyploid species. Here, we describe the mechanism of establishment of at least four allopolyploid species in Brassicaceae (
Arabidopsis suecica
,
Arabidopsis kamchatica, Capsella bursa-pastoris,
and
Brassica napus
), in a manner dependent on the prior loss of the self-incompatibility mechanism in one of the ancestors. In each case, the degraded
S
-locus from one parental lineage was dominant over the functional
S
-locus of the outcrossing parental lineage. Such dominant loss-of-function mutations promote an immediate transition to selfing in allopolyploids and may facilitate their establishment.
