You isolate the LLS gene from a plant that is homozygous for an S allele. To determine if and how the LLS gene acts in self incompatibility, you transfer this gene and its promoter into a plant containing S3 and S4 alleles Crosses are done between non-transgenic plants of known S allele composition and S3 S4 transgenic plants containing the LLS gene (T-S3 S4). The following results are obtained. Assume that the LLS transgene is expressed at a normal level in the transgenic plant. Based on these experiments, discuss the role of the LLS gene in self incompatibility What is the S allele specificity of the LLS gene. Explain your answers using the space below
