2 Supplementary Methods Genome sequencing The nucleotide sequence of an 86.4 kb partial S-locus region spanning the SP11, SRK and SLG genes was previously reported in the S 60 -haplotype (AB097116) 16. We determined the entire S 60 -genomic sequence by obtaining the lacking SP11 downstream sequence by PCR amplification using primers designed from S 60 -SP11 and the flanking S-locus region of the class-i S 46 -haplotype (AB257128). The kb S 44 -, S 40 - and S 29 -genomic sequences between SP11 and a partial SRK sequence were previously reported 17. The sequence from SP11 downstream to the flanking S-locus region of the S 40 - haplotypes were also PCR-amplified using the primer designed from the S 46 -flanking region and specific S 40 -SP11 primer. For the S 44 -haplotype, a partial SP11 downstream sequence was obtained using Universal GenomeWalker TM 2.0 (Clontech). Then, the sequence from SP11 downstream to the flanking S-locus region were also PCR-amplified using the primers designed from the S 46 -flanking region and obtained partial S 44 -SP11 downstream sequence. For the S 29 -haplotype, a partial SP11 downstream sequence was PCR-amplified using the primers designed from S 29 -SMI and S 29 -SP11. Then, about 1 kb of downstream of SP11 was sequenced. Full-length SRK genomic fragments of S 44 -, S 40 - and S 29 -haplotypes were amplified using specific primers designed from SRK cdna sequences (AB211198, AB and AB008191, respectively). In the S 44 -, S 40 - and S 29 -haplotypes, each SRK NATURE PLANTS DOI: /nplants

3 SMI2 region was amplified using an SRK primer and SMI2 primers specific for each S-haplotype. For the S 29 -haplotype, the full-length SMI2 genomic fragment was amplified using primers designed based on the S 60 -SMI2 sequence. The S 60 -SMI2 genomic region was independently sequenced. The SMI2 SLG regions of S 44 - and S 40 -haplotypes were amplified using specific SMI2 primers and the primers designed based on each SLG cdna sequence (AB and AB054058). The regions from SLG to the flanking region of the S-locus were amplified using a specific SLG primer and a primer designed based on the sequence of the S 60 S-locus flanking region. Each PCR-amplified product was fragmented using the DNA Fragmentation Kit (Takara), cloned into pgem-t Easy Vectors (Promega) and sequenced. Prediction of srna precursor regions Inverted repeats in each class-ii S-locus were predicted using three programs. First, we used the einverted program in the EMBOSS package 30 with the default scoring matrix and maximum extent of repeats of 350 bp. From these results, we selected inverted repeats with a maximal terminal loop size of 50 bp. Second, we performed a hairpin search using the GENETYX-WIN software with the following score matrix: match % of stem parts = 75; max size of stem parts = 200; min size of stem parts = 30; max size of loop parts = 50; min size of loop parts = 4. Third, we identified inverted repeats using the mirpara program 31 with the default scoring matrix. We then assessed the secondary NATURE PLANTS DOI: /nplants

4 structures of the predicted inverted repeats using the RNAfold program 32 and identified hairpin structure with low free energy (< 25 kcal mol 1 ). Predicted stem-loops carrying homologous sequences to the four S-haplotypes of SP11 sequences ± 1 kb were further selected by a BLAST search. Phylogenetic analyses The deduced amino acid sequences of the SRK ectodomain were multiply aligned using Clustal Omega 33. Conserved selection blocks from the alignment were selected using Gblocks 34 with default parameters, yielding a 330 amino acid alignment without gaps. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on Bayesian inference using the MrBayes program 35 by setting B. rapa SLR1-2 (AB016534) and SLR1-4 (AB016535) as the outgroup sequences. Four chains of Metropolis-coupled Markov Chain Monte Carlo processes were run for 2,000,000 generations, with trees sampled for every 1,000 generations. The first 25% of trees were discarded, and the remainder were used to support the majority rule consensus tree topology with posterior probabilities. NATURE PLANTS DOI: /nplants
