Water and osmotic potentials were measured in young and mature styles of selfcompatible (SC) and selfincompatible (SI) species ofSolanaceae. For mature flowers, the stylar water and osmotic potentials were considerably lower in SI speciesNicotiana alata andPetunia hybrida than in SC speciesN. sylvestris andN. tabacum. Stylar water content (in % fresh mass) was also significantly lower in SI species (N. alata, P. hybrida, diploid clones of potato) than in SC species (N. acuminata, N. glauca, N. paniculata, N. sylvestris, N. tabacum). For flower buds younger than 2 d before anthesis, no differences in stylar water potential betweenN. alata (SI) andN. tabacum (SC) were observed. During further flower bud development the stylar water potential inN. alata decreased more expressively than inN. tabacum. Pollen culture in media with various concentrations of sucrose or polyethylene glycol revealed that optimal water potential for pollen tube growth was lower inN. alata than inN. tabacum. The differences were similar as for differences in stylar water potential. The results are considered in relation to possible involvement of stylar water potential in unilateral interspecific incompatibility inSolanaceae.
