Abstract: | The possible involvement of chemotropic factors influencingpollen tube growth in the style and ovary of Salpiglossis wasstudied. Pollen deposited at the base of excised styles germinatedreadily, with pollen tubes penetrating the transmitting tissueand growing towards the stigma, implying that no chemotropicrequirement exists for pollen tube growth in the style. However,the position and high efficiency of seed set following limited-pollinationof intact pistils would support the involvement of localizedchemotropism operating within the ovary.
