Self-incompatibility (SI) is a widespread mechanism in angiosperms that prevents inbreeding by rejecting self-pollen. However, the regulation of the SI response in
is not well understood. Here, we report that the M-locus protein kinase (
)
, the functional homolog of
in
, controls SI in
. We identified four paralogue
genes in
, including
,
,
, and
. Two transcripts of
,
and
, were generated by alternative splicing. Tissue expression pattern analysis demonstrated that
, especially
, is highly expressed in reproductive organs, particularly in stigmas. We subsequently created RNA-silencing lines and CRISPR/Cas9-induced quadruple mutants of
in
SI line S-70. Phenotypic analysis revealed that SI response is partially suppressed in RNA-silencing lines and is completely blocked in quadruple mutants. These results indicate the importance of
in regulating the SI response of
. We found that the expression of SI positive regulators S-locus receptor kinase (
) and Arm-Repeat Containing 1 (
) are suppressed in
mutant, whereas the self-compatibility (SC) element Glyoxalase I (
) maintained a high expression level. Overall, our findings reveal a new regulatory mechanism of
in the SI of
