Table 1. Self-Incompatibility Phenotypes of Transgenic A. thaliana in the Col-0 Ecotype.

Transgenes Self-Incompatible
Self-Compatible Total No. T0 Plants Tested
Strong Moderate
SCRb-SRKb 0 0 20 20
SCRb-SRKb + Al-ARC1 5 11 4 20
SCRb-SRKb + Bn-ARC1 7 6 7 20

Phenotypes were assessed by pollinating emasculated late stage 13 pistils (open flowers) with self-pollen for 2 h, followed by aniline blue staining of the pollinated pistils to view pollen tube growth. The T0 plants were scored as “strong self-incompatible” if <10 pollen tubes/pistil were observed or “moderate self-incompatible” if >10 pollen tubes/pistil were observed and there was a clear reduction in the number of pollen tubes relative to the self-compatible controls (n = 3 pistils/T0 plant).
