The continued slow growth of incompatible pollen tubes and the ability of incompatible pollen tubes to resume growth if the incompatible style is grafted to a compatible style both argue against the cytotoxic model for S-RNase inhibition, wherein the degradation of pollen rRNA was thought to cause pollen tube arrest. These results suggest that pollen tubes can synthesize rRNA, and also that the pollen S component is present throughout all phases of pollen tube growth.
