Figure S1. Linkage analysis of PbSLFs and PbS-RNases.

(a) Genotype identificationof an F1 population of 38 progeny from a cross "YaLi" (S21S34) × "JinFeng" (S19S34) was performed. PbS21-RNase, PbS34-RNase and PbS19-RNase were detected by genomic DNA PCR using gene-specific primers. The parents "YaLi" (S21S34)and "JinFeng" (S19S34) were used as controls.

(b) Linkage analysis of PbSLF6-S21 and PbS21-RNase. CAPS procedure was conducted using the F1 population from the "YaLi" (S21S34) × "JinFeng" (S19S34) cross.

(c) Linkage analysis of PbSLF3-S34 and PbS34-RNase. dCAPS procedure was conducted using the F1 population from the "YaLi" (S21S34) × "JinFeng" (S19S34) cross.

Figure S2. A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of PbSLF proteins and other SLF/SFBB proteins.The deduced amino acid sequences are from Pyrus bretschneideri (6 PbSLF proteins), Pyrus pyrifolia (49 SFBB proteins), Malus domestica (2 SFBB proteins), Antirrhinum hispanicum (2 SLF proteins), Petunia hybrida (PhSLF-S1) and Petunia inflata (PiSLF1).The neighbor-joining tree is generated with 1000 bootstrap replicates, and bootstrap values of 50% and above are given at branch nodes. AhSLF-S2, AhSLF-S5, PhSLF-S1 and PiSLF1 are used as the outgroup. SLF1-8 represent eight types of the SLF proteins classified byKakui et al. (2011).

Figure S3. GST pull-down assays of GST with His6-SUMO and His6-SUMO-SLFs. Purified GST was used as bait against purified His6-SUMO and His6-SUMO-SLFs. Bound proteins were examined with anti-His antibody.

segregation ratio / χ2 test eχ20.01=6.635

YaLi×JinFeng / 38 / NS19S21b:NS19S34c / 1:1 / 18:20 / 0.026, P>0.05

aThe number of F1population used for segregation analysis.

bThe number of the plants of S19S21 genotype.

cThe number of the plants of S19S34 genotype.

dThe segregation ratio expected if the segregation is random.

eThe chi-squared goodness-of-fit test of the segregation ration observed; if the χ2sampleχ20.01, the value of P<0.01, which means there was a significant difference between the segregation ratio observed and that expected. Otherwise, if the χ2sampleχ20.05, the value of P>0.05, which means the segregation ratio observed is fit to the segregation ratio expected.
