Relationship between the Self-Incompatibility and cAMP Level in Lilium longiflorum

The elongation of pollen tubes in Lilium longiflorum cv. Hinomoto after self-incompatible pollination stopped halfway, but that after cross-compatible pollination (cross with cv. Georgia) did not. The elongation of pollen tubes after self-pollination was enhanced by exogenous cAMP and by pertussis toxin or cholera toxin, which activates adenylate cyclase. The level of endogenous cAMP in pistils after self-pollination was approximately one half of that after cross-pollination. Furthermore, the activity of adenylate cyclase in pistils after self-pollination was also approximately one half of that after cross-pollination. By contrast, cAMP phosphodiesterase in pistils after self-pollination was approximately 2 times as high as that after cross-pollination. A possible correlation between self-incompatibility and the low level of endogenous cAMP in lily pistils is discussed on the basis of these results.
