RESUMO

2-O,C-Methylene-myo-inositol (MMO), a myo-inositol (MI) antagonist, inhibits germination and tube elongation of pollen from Lilium longiflorum cv. Ace or 44. The presence of 5 mm MMO in Dickinson's pentaerythritol medium (Plant Physiol. 43:1-8) partially blocks germination. The tubes produced are short and fail to elongate. In the presence of MI, MMO's toxic effect is blocked. As little as 0.56 mm MI will maintain normal germination in the presence of 43 mm MMO, and pollen tubes continue to elongate for 2 to 3 hr. Eventually, the toxic action of MMO prevents further growth. MMO does not inhibit UDP-d-glucose dehydrogenase from lily pollen.
