title: Is the 'rejection reaction' inducing ability in sporophytic self-incompatible systems restricted only to pollen and tapetum?
abstract: The present investigation describes the stigmatic rejection response, induced by anther or pollen at developmental stages ranging from anther primordia to mature pollen, as well as in other floral and vegetative tissues. This has been studied in a sporophytic self-incompatible system, Brassica campestris (Brassicaceae). The implications of these observations have been discussed.
