Table 2. Pollen hydration efficiency within and between species.

Pollen
Stigmas At Aa Op Cr Si
At +++ (4) +++ (5) +++ (5) +++ (5) ++ (5)
Aa +++ (4) +++ (4)* ++ (7) - (6) - (6)

Symbols indicate the extent of pollen hydration as measured by percent of grains that swell: +++, complete (>90%); ++, intermediate (1-90%); -, incomplete (<1%), averaged over (n) stigmas. Species are as indicated in Fig. 2. *Self-incompatible pollen was not hydrated (five trials).
