Pollen from three S-genotypes of Nicotiana alata was grown in vitro in the
presence of S-glycoproteins isolated from styles of the same three
genotypes. Pollen germination was not affected by the presence of the
S-glycoproteins, but pollen tube growth of all genotypes was inhibited. S2
pollen was preferentially inhibited by the S2-glycoprotein and S3 pollen by
the S3-glycoprotein. The S6-glycoprotein preferentially inhibited growth of
both S2 and S6 pollen over S3 pollen. Heat treatment dramatically increased
the inhibitory activity of the S-glycoproteins as inhibitors both of pollen
germination and tube growth; after heat treatment, S-allele specificity of
pollen tube inhibition was not detected.
