Abstract

 The regulation of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in relation to in vivo pollen tube growth of Solanum tuberosum was investigated. Adh gene expression as well as ADH enzyme activity were induced in pollinated pistils. The induced ADH isozyme in pollinated pistils is not present in pollen or anthers. The same ADH isozyme is induced in leaves submerged in water. The significance of the induction of ADH activity for pollen tube growth is discussed.
