Question

In gametophytic self-incompatibility

The egg and sperm have incompatible receptors during fertilization

The egg has already been fertilized and rejects additional sperm

E3 ubiquitin ligases in the pollen tube recognize non-self RNases from the style, and target them for degradation

The style does not transport needed nutrients to the pollen tube, causing it to starve

Receptors on the stigma recognize proteins in the pollen coat (exine) and prevent the transfer of water and nutrients required for pollen tube germination.
