Abstract
The self-incompatibility (SI) in Papaver rhoeas results in rapid S-specific inhibition of pollen tube growth. We have identified increases in phosphorylation of at least two pollen phosphoproteins, one of which is p26.1. This hyper-phosphorylation is specific to an incompatible response, since it is not detected in a compatible challenge. The speed of hyper-phosphorylation of p26.1 is consistent with it playing a primary role in the SI response. We propose to characterise p26.1 in detail and establish its role in the signal transduction pathway that mediates SI using both molecular cloning techniques and biochemical analysis.
