Abstract excerpt
In self-incompatible plants of the Solanaceae, the specificity of pollen rejection is controlled by a single multiallelic S-locus. Pollen tube growth is inhibited in the style when its single S-allele matches either S-allele present in the diploid pistil. Each S-allele encodes an S-RNase with a u...
