Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Self-Compatible <i>Turnera</i> Mutants Suggests <i>Glutathione S-Transferase 8</i> Is Involved in Overcoming S-Morph Female Self-Incompatibility Response.

ABSTRACT: Distyly is a reproductive system, characterized by the presence of two floral morphs, which promotes outcrossing via physical and biochemical means. In distylous Turnera, the mating type of the S-morph is determined by two genes: YUC6 (male) and BAHD (female). Despite the importance of these S-genes, it is likely that additional genes are involved in the distylous syndrome. Here, we use comparative mass spectrometry analysis to identify differentially expressed proteins in a series of self-compatible mutants and wildtype distylous members of Turnera. Our analysis identified a member of the Glutathione S-transferase family that overwhelmingly correlated with L-morph male mating type. Exploration of the large datasets and previously published work le
