    Notes: Summary Self-compatible Brassica napus var ‘Westar’ was transformed with SLG, the S-locus-derived gene that encodes S-locus-specific glycoproteins (SLSG). Four allelic variants of SLG isolated from self-incompatible B. oleracea and B. campestris strains homozygous for different S alleles were used. We show that the transgenic plants synthesized SLSG with the same apparent charge, molecular weight, and antigenic properties as that produced by the corresponding self-incompatible strains from which the cloned SLG genes were isolated. In addition, transgene-encoded SLSG was detected specifically in the papillar cells of the stigma, and was correctly targeted to the papillar cell wall. However, SLSG was produced at reduced levels in transgenic plants relative to self-incompatible strains. The introduction of the SLG genes did not confer a self-incompatibility phenotype on the ‘Westar’ cultivar.

    Notes: Summary Eluates of stigmas of Brassica oleracea that were known to contain S locus-specific glycoproteins (SLSG) discriminated between self and cross pollen in vitro in three different media. Discrimination was equally evident in experiments that were the in vitro equivalents of reciprocal pollinations. In a TAPS-buffered medium, self eluates depressed pollen germination in a dose-dependent manner. TAPS medium allowed a bioassay of the effects of SLSG in eluates because it optimized germination in a way that eliminated the complicating features of the stimulatory substances in the eluates. Stigma eluates affected percentage pollen germination and optimum calcium concentrations in vitro whether or not SLSG were present in the eluates, but differently in different media, and depending on whether the eluates were cross or self with respect to the pollen tested. Thus, the effect of stigma eluates on the in vitro germination of pollen in Brassica depends on the balance of stimulatory versus inhibitory substances in the eluates.

    Notes: Summary Cuticle and pore development in the guard cells ofFunaria were investigated with the electron microscope. Pore cuticle formation is simultaneous with the creation of the pore itself. The morphology of the pore cuticle is unlike that of any cuticle described in the literature. It has many lamellae which are penetrated by electron dense fibrils. Three different cuticular morphologies exist from the pore to the subsidiary cell walls. The cuticles on the pore and outer walls contain fibrils that sometimes reach to the surface. The subsidiary cell cuticle lacks fibrils altogether. It is hypothesized that (1) cuticularization of the middle lamella contributes to ventral wall separation and (2) differences in extent of cuticular fibrils are related to greater water loss from stomata than from subsidiary cells (peristomatal transpiration).

    Notes: Summary The levels of calcium in pollen grains on the stigma, after self vs. cross pollinations, were compared inBrassica oleracea, a species showing sporophytic self-incompatibility. Self pollen was characterized by higher levels of chlorotetracycline fluorescence and by higher calcium signals in energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays than cross pollen. Cellular integrity of pollen grains was maintained after rejection, and self pollen could be rescued from the stigma to germinate 4 h after pollination, suggesting that the rejection response was not irreversible.
