This is a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Plant Biology to               support Dr. Thorsness' research and training under the mentorship of Dr.        June B. Nasrallah.  The proposal outlines experiments to study self-            incompatability in Brassica, using a combination of genetic and cell            biology approaches.  The cellular site(s) of expression of the                  genetically-defined S-locus, which directs the self-incompatability             response, will be identified by transforming plants with chimeric genes         produced by fusing the S-locus promoter to various reporter genes               (including lethal and non-lethal reporters).                                       The project has both theoretical and potentially pragmatic                   significance.  The results will identify the cells of the plant which           express the S-locus gene products, and will permit biological analysis          of the self-incomptability phenomenon.  The use of lethal reporter genes        may generate plants with altered fertility which may be of agricultural         usefulness.
