Degradation of S-RNase in compatible pollen tubes of<i>Solanum chacoense</i>inferred by immunogold labeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The flowering plant Solanum chacoense uses an S-RNase-based self-incompatibility system in order to reject pollen that shares the same genes at the S-locus (S-haplotype) with the style (an incompatible reaction). Two different models have been advanced to explain how compatible pollen tubes are protected from the cytotoxic effects of the S-RNase, sequestration of the S-RNase in a vacuolar compartment or degradation of the S-RNase in the cytoplasm. Here, we examine the subcellular distribution of an S11-RNase 18 and 24 h post pollination (hpp) in compatible and incompatible crosses by immunogold labeling and transmission electron microscopy. We find that the S-RNase is present in the cytoplasm of both compatible and incompatible crosses by 18 hpp, but that almost all the cytoplasmic S-RNase is degraded by 24 hpp in compatible crosses. These results provide compelling evidence that S-RNases are degraded in compatible but not in incompatible pollen tubes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
