Abstract
The nucleotide (nt) sequences of the 5'-flanking regions of two Brassi ca self-incompatibility genes, SLG(9) and SRK9, were determined. Their sequences were highly conserved: a region spanning 1.9 kb in the 5'-f lanking region was completely identical except for a 1319-bp segment i n SLG(9). These observations strongly suggest that SLG(9) and SRK9 tog ether with their promoter regions were involved in a gene duplication or conversion event which occurred before the 1319-bp SLG(9)-specific sequence was inserted in SLG(9) or deleted in SRK9.
