Isolated pistils of dimorphic buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) flowers were treated with phosphatase inhibitors (ocadaic acid and cantharidin) and with calcium antagonists (verapamil, La3+, and A23187). They were subsequently cross- or self-pollinated, and the growth of pollen tubes was observed under the fluorescence microscope. All treatments suppressed inhibition of pollen tubes growth suggesting that protein phosphatases and calcium signaling may be involved in self-incompatibility signal transduction in buckwheat.
