Selective inhibition of the growth of incompatible pollen tubes by S-protein in the Japanese pear
The S-allele-associated proteins (S-proteins) in the styles of the Japanese pear (Pyrus serotina Rehd. var. culta Rehd.) were purified by cation exchange chromatography. Their inhibitory action on the growth of i...

Comparison of an S-protein expression between self-compatible and -incompatible Japanese pear cultivars
An S4-allele-associated protein (S4-protein) was identified by both isoelectricfocusing (IEF) polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and N-terminal amino-acid sequences in self-incompatible Nijisseiki (self-in- comp...
