Synthesis of RNA and protein as a function of time and type of pollentube — Style interaction in Petunia hybrida L.

Summary

At several stages following self- and cross-pollination the size of the pool of free nucleotides, RNA and protein synthesis were studied in styles of Petunia hybrida L.

The results show:

  1. 1.

    the time between transcription and translation in the style is about 3 hours in average:

  2. 2.

    recognition of the pollen being self or not-self takes place at a very early stage in the pollentube—style interaction;

  3. 3.

    recognition probably does not occur throughout the whole progamic phase, but is restricted to 1 or maybe 3 stages.
