KNOX Department of Botany, Australian National University, Box 4, G.P.O., Canberra A.C.T., Australia AND J. HESLOP-HARRISON Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, England SUMMARY By the use of an immunofluorescence technique, the main source of the antigens released by the pollen grains of Phalaris tuberosa L. (Gramineae) on leaching has been shown to be the intine. The main concentration is in the thickened zone underlying the germination pore. The intine is also the site of various hydrolytic enzymes. The fate of the intine-held antigens has been followed in compatible and incompatible pollinations. They are lost on to the stigma within 5-10 min, whether or not the pollen grains germinate. Where germination does occur after a compatible pollination, the antigens remain spread on the surface of the stigma cells after the tubes have penetrated. There is no indication that antigenic material of the same type is released during the further growth of the tubes. The possible roles of the intine-held materials as recognition substances in inter- and intraspecific compatibility reactions are discussed. INTRODUCTION The inner stratum of the pollen-grain wall, the cellulosic intine, contains substantial amounts of protein, including various hydrolytic enzymes (Knox & Heslop-Harrison, 1970). The protein is concentrated principally in the vicinity of the apertures, and is held in electron-microscopically visible ribbons or leaflets, which are incorporated during intine growth (Heslop-Harrison, 1963*2,6; Knox, 1971a). Pollen grains are well known to release proteins, including enzymes, on moistening (Green, 1894; Stanley & Linskens, 1965; Makinen & Brewbaker, 1967), and it now seems likely that the bulk of the rapidly emitted material is derived from the wall sites, and not from the vegetative cell itself. By the use of an immunofluorescence method, we have shown that much of the antigenic material lost from the pollen of Gladiolusgandavensis and Ambrosia trifida in a soaking period of 24 h comes from the intine (Knox, Heslop-Harrison & Reed, 1970), and in fact the intine-held antigens of Gladiolus are almost wholly lost into the bathing medium in a much shorter period of time, of the order of a few minutes (Knox, 1971a). The rapidly released intine proteins have been found without exception in every
2 240 R. B. Knox and J. Heslop-Harrison flowering-plant species examined, so there can be little doubt that they have important functions. The hydrolytic enzymes are probably concerned in germination, early pollen-tube nutrition and the penetration of the stigma (Knox & Heslop-Harrison, 1970). However, the enzymes appear to represent only a small fraction of the bulk of the protein emitted from moistened pollen grains, and they may not contribute much to the total antigenic activity of leachates. We have suggested that much of the rapidly released intine material is concerned rather with compatibility reactions (Knox, 1971 a; Heslop-Harrison, 1971). We refer here to all responses where pollen-borne materials are concerned with regulating the breeding system, and to such materials, collectively, we have applied the term recognition substances. It is to be expected that recognition substances will be heterogeneous, for they are likely to be involved in different kinds of responses; in inter-specific pollinations, the requirement is to ensure fertilization of like by like; in the operation of intra-specific incompatibility systems, on the other hand, the need is for like to reject like to prevent selfing. In view of what is now known of the pollen wall proteins and what may be postulated about their functions, it is obviously important to establish their actual fate when a pollen grain alights on a stigma. It is fortunate that the immunofluorescence method allows this to be done, for by its use the behaviour of antigenic material from known wall sites can be followed under various conditions (Knox, 19716). In this paper we report observations on the early events following the arrival of pollen on the stigmas of a grass, Phalaris tuberosa L., in compatible and incompatible matings. P. tuberosa is a tetraploid species, and in breeding work several self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes have been isolated (McWilliam & Latter, 1970). The detailed genetics of incompatibility in the species have yet to be worked out. In the diploid species, P. coerulescens, Hayman (1956) has shown that incompatibility is gametophytically determined, dependent, as in other grasses (Lundquist, 1963) on 2 major loci, S and Z, with many alleles. The system in P. tuberosa is likely to be comparable, except in so far as it is modified by tetraploidy. It should be understood that in this initial study we have not been concerned with tracing the behaviour of pollen-borne antigens specifically associated with particular incompatibility genotypes, but with the broader problem of what happens to the total bulk of the wall-held antigens in different matings. The absence of full information concerning the genetics of the incompatibility system has not been significant, for the comparison to be made was between the behaviour on selfing in known self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antigen solutions and antisera were prepared as previously described (Knox et al. 1970). Four weekly subcutaneous injections of extracts from mixed P. tuberosa pollen were given to 2 rabbits, the first with complete Freund adjuvant, and the others with the incomplete. Pollen samples for the location of the antigens were freeze-sectioned as described by Knox & Heslop- Harrison (1970), and the immunofluorescence technique was that described by Knox eta!. (1970) as modified by Knox (1971a). For the study of the behaviour of the pollen-borne antigens on the stigma, 4 P. tuberosa genotypes were used: 2 self-compatible (nos. 35 and 42) and 2 self-incompatible (nos. 27 and
3 Intine-held antigens on the stigma of Phalaris ). Inflorescences were collected in the field when the upper florets were just reaching anthesis, and kept in vials of water until required. Undehisced florets were removed, and the complete pistil with stigmas carefully dissected out and placed in agar medium (2 % agar, % sucrose and 100 p.p.m. boric acid) to facilitate accurate control of pollination (Lundquist, 1961). Next morning, fresh pollen from the same inflorescence could be sprinkled on to the stigmas on the agar plates, or cross-pollinations carried out as required. Various chemical fixation procedures were tested for stabilizing the emitted proteins, including the methanol-cyanuric chloridefixativeof Goland et al. (1969), but fully satisfactory results were not obtained. Accordingly the precipitin reaction itself was used as a method of stabilizing the antigens. The pistils with stigmas bearing the applied pollen were placed directly into anti- P. tuberosa serum, maintained at 37 C to ensure rapid complexing. The pistils were removed after 1 h, and washed for 10 min in saline without agitation to remove uncomplexed surface proteins. They were then incubated for 1 h at room temperature in fluorescein isothiocyanate (FlTC)-labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG serum (Behringwerke, Marburg Lahn, Germany). The stigmas were then washed for a further 10 min in saline, and mounted for fluorescence microscopy. Samplings were made 5-10 min after pollination and again after 40 min. As controls, stigmas bearing pollen grains were incubated in normal rabbit serum instead of the anti-p. tuberosa serum. No fluorescent precipitins could be detected at all in control preparations after incubation in the standard way in the labelled anti-rabbit serum, so the specificity of the reactions observed is in no doubt. For fluorescence microscopy, observations were made using a mercury-arc source and an incident-light illuminator with Zeiss Type 1 excitation filter and a barrier filter excluding light of wavelength shorter than 500 nm. The preparations could be viewed directly by phase contrast using transmitted tungsten light. OBSERVATIONS Localization of the antigens in ungerminated pollen An earlier study of the pollen of 3 other grass species, Alopecurus pratensis, Coix lachryma-jobi and Lolium temulentum, showed that protein was present in the intine, where acid phosphatase and ribonuclease activity could be detected cytochemically (Knox & Heslop-Harrison, 1970). In Phalaris tuberosa, most of the antigenic material is undoubtedly held in the same site. The loss from fully mature pollen prepared for freeze-sectioning in gelatine slurries is very rapid, so that observations on sections of such material did not reveal the full content of the intine, much appearing in the surrounding medium. However, it was found that the antigens leaked much less readily from late vacuolate grains still held within the anther loculi (compare Knox, 1971a, b). In preparations made of pollen at this stage, the localization of antigens in the intine was dramatically precise, and the concentration in the vicinity of the germination pore could readily be seen (Fig. 1). For comparison, the localization of acid phosphatase, detected by the method of Barka & Anderson (1962) using a- naphthyl acid phosphate as substrate, is shown in Fig. 2. Again the concentration in the intine, particularly at the pore, is quite evident. From this evidence and that given elsewhere for other pollens (Knox & Heslop- Harrison, 1970; Knox et al. 1970; Knox, 1971a, b), it may be accepted that antigenic material detected by the immunofluorescence method outside of the grain after moistening is derived from mainly the wall sites. We have no indication from any of our observations of massive loss of antigens from the vegetative cell, although proteins from this source must be present in long-term leachates made in saline solution. 16 CEL 9
4 242 R. B. Knox and J. Heslop-Harrison Reactions of the unpollinated stigma The results of attempts to localize pollen-borne antigens on the stigma would be meaningless were cross-reacting proteins present in, or on the surface of, the stigma cells. In fact, cross-reacting materials were either absent, or present in such low concentrations as to be essentially undetectable against the faint nativefluorescenceof the stigma cell walls and cell contents. The point may be verified from Figs Release of the pollen-borne antigens Compatible pollinations. In P. tuberosa, as shown by Hayman (1956) for P. coerulescens, germination takes place in compatible pollinations within a few minutes of the pollen reaching the stigma. In the compatible selfing 42 x 42, the intine antigens were found to be released very rapidly, and they were readily detected, spread over the surface of the stigma cells, in 5-10 min preparations, whether or not a pollen tube had emerged (Fig. 3). Where several grains had alighted on the same stigma filament, the entire surface was coated with the fluorescent precipitins, with a marked concentration immediately around the grains. The same distribution appeared in the compatible crossing, 42 x 27 (Fig. 6). In some preparations, the precipitin complex was noticeably granular (Fig. 5); it is, of course, impossible to say whether this is characteristic of the distribution of the antigens, or results from the antigen-antibody reaction itself. After 40 min many more grains had germinated, and the tubes had penetrated considerably farther between the cells of the stigma. However, the antigens were distributed just as in the 5-10 min preparations, and it was quite evident that no more antigenic material of the same type as that released from the grain immediately after landing was being emitted by the growing tubes. Incompatible pollinations. With both of the self-incompatible genotypes tested, there was no germination within 5-10 min after selfing. Nevertheless, the intine-held antigens were freely discharged. Perhaps because of the absence of tubes, the grains were mostly lost from the stigmas during the washing after antibody complexing, but the sites of their arrival were clearly marked by localized depositions of intensely fluorescent precipitins (Fig. 7). Apart from the disturbance caused by the detachment of the grains, there was no indication of any difference in the distribution of the antigens in compatible and incompatible pollinations. In preparations made after 40 min, some grains were found adhering to the stigmas, suggesting that tubes had penetrated a short distance. However, it was often apparent by phase microscopy that the tubes had simply coiled around the grains or a neighbouring stigma process, without true penetration. Hayman (1956) noted that pollen tubes did penetrate a short distance into the stigma after 20 h in incompatible pollinations of P. coerulescens.
5 DISCUSSION Intine-held antigens on the stigma of Phalaris 243 These results show that the intine-held antigens leave individual pollen grains and spread out on the stigma surface very soon after contact is made with the stigma, certainly within 5-10 min. Furthermore, they suggest there is no difference between compatible and incompatible pollination in the behaviour of the discharged materials. Doubtless the substances responsible for the incompatibility reaction will be among the emitted antigens. While no direct evidence is yet available for antigens specifically associated with particular incompatibility genotypes in P. tuberosa, this may be deduced from the fact that the control over tube growth is exerted also within 5-10 min of pollination, particularly in the light of the results of the elegant experiments of Lewis, Burrage & Walls (1967) on Oenothera organensis. In the experiments on Oenothera, it was shown that the antigen associated with a particular S allele can be detected by a precipitin reaction in a halo around an individual grain when it is placed on agar containing an antiserum for an extract of pollen of the same genotype. Immuno-electrophoretic studies on the anti-p. tuberosa serum will be described in another paper, but here it may be noted that such work has shown the intine antigens to be heterogeneous, as are those of Gladiolus (Knox, 1971 a, b) and other species tested. The enzymes from the wall sites may be among the antigens, but as already suggested most may be recognition substances, expected themselves to be heterogeneous. The proportion of the total concerned in the self-incompatibility reaction remains a matter for speculation. The work of Makinen & Lewis (1962) suggests that in Oenothera organensis the S protein must form a substantial part of the total mobile protein of the pollen grain. This is also indicated by the results of Lewis et al. (1967). The fact that these workers were able to detect S gene segregation in diffusion tests using antisera against total pollen extracts can only mean that the S protein forms a major part of the total, otherwise the segregation would be lost against the background of reactions involving non-specific proteins - including, of course, the enzymes. It will be informative in further work to examine the responses in close interspecific pollinations, where a stigma rejects foreign pollen. While inter-specific incompatibility control could depend upon other factors than emitted proteins, the idea that these are concerned is attractive, because such a mechanism might allow a higher degree of gene-determined specificity than other possibilities that can be envisaged. Hybrids of Populus alba and P. deltoides have recently been obtained using killed pollen of the compatible type mixed with fresh, incompatible pollen (Knox, Willing & Pryor, in preparation). One interpretation of this result could be that the incompatible pollen is here 'borrowing' recognition material from the compatible. Similar work with Phalaris species is planned. We are indebted to Dr Ian D. Marshall of the John Curtin School of Medical Research of the Australian National University for help in preparing the anti-phalaris serum, to Dr J. R. McWilliam of CSIRO, Division of Plant Industry, Canberra, for providing the Phalaris plants, and to Miss E. Evans and Mrs L. Tompkins for their valued technical assistance. 16-2
