Self-incompatibility (SI) involves specific interactions during pollination to reject incompatible ('self') pollen, preventing inbreeding in angiosperms. A key event observed in pollen undergoing the Papaver rhoeas SI response is the formation of punctate F-actin foci. Pollen tube growth is heavily energy-dependent, yet ATP levels in pollen tubes have not been directly measured during SI.

- ATR-FTIR spectroscopy is an efficient and cost-effective method for analyzing biological materials, especially dried plant samples, requiring minimal preparation and offering high-throughput capabilities.
- This technique allows for nondestructive analysis and helps predict important parameters of cell walls and composition using advanced statistical models.
- The paper discusses methods for preparing cell wall samples, generating ATR-FTIR spectra, and employing statistical techniques for pattern recognition in various samples, highlighting its potential in the lignocellulosic biomass industry.
Pollen tube growth is essential for plant reproduction. Their rapid extension using polarized tip growth provides an exciting system for studying this specialized type of growth. Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically controlled mechanism to prevent self-fertilization.
