Perspectives

PLANT SCIENCES:
Self-Rejection--a New Kinase Connection

Daphne R. Goring and John C. Walker

Plants have developed an elaborate self-incompatibility response to prevent fertilization by self pollen. In their Perspective, Goring and Walker discuss new work (Murase et al.) that identifies a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase as a crucial player in the self-incompatibility response.
