Pollination type recognition from a distance in the ovary is revealed by a global transcriptomic analysis.


ABSTRACT: Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves intimate interactions between the growing pollen tube and the female reproductive structure. These interactions start immediately after pollen landing on the stigma and continue during the pollen tube journey through the style and the ovary. Thus, well before fertilization, genes in the gynoecium are affected by the growing pollen tubes. Genes activated at a distance in the ovary before pollen tubes arrival represent one class of such genes. Using a global transcriptomic approach, expression profiles obtained from compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations revealed that these pollinations are perceived differently from a distance in the ovary. As the pollen tubes grew along the style, more and more genes became specific for each pollination type, although even early on when no difference could be observed in pollen tube growth rates, each pollination type already displayed its specific signature. Wounding experiments as well as methyl jasmonate treatment were also conducted to determine if transmitting tissue cell death caused by pollen tube growth in the style could also activate gene expression at distance in the ovary. Our data suggest that pollen tube growth in the style is at least partially perceived as a wounding aggression, and that a SI pollination is more akin to a wound response than the other pollination type tested, suggesting similarities in the signaling pathways controlling pollen recognition and stress responses. More importantly, our transcriptomic analysis reveals a highly specific recognition of various pollination types that is relayed from a distance to the ovary ahead of fertilization.
