Abstract
The morphological aspect of incompatibility in sugar beet has not been studied. The little we know comes from comparative morphological studies of the embryo sac which demonstrated that fertilization does not occur after self-pollination (Charetscbko-Sawizkaja 1940). Fluorescence microscopy has made it possible to observe the growing pollen tube in pistil tissue and its entering the ovule. With this method, it was established that pollen grain either failed to germinate or produced short tubes mainly at the stigma surface after self-pollination of a single self-incompatible plant (Zaikovskaja, Jujalova 1976).
