The pollen receptor kinase LePRK2 mediates growth-promoting signals and positively regulates pollen germination and tube growth [PDF]
, 2008 In flowering plants, the process of pollen germination and tube growth is required for successful fertilization. A pollen receptor kinase from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), LePRK2, has been implicated in signaling during pollen germination and tube ...

Overexpression of the Tomato Pollen Receptor Kinase LePRK1 Rewires Pollen Tube Growth to a Blebbing Mode [PDF]
, 2014 The tubular growth of a pollen tube cell is crucial for the sexual reproduction of flowering plants. LePRK1 is a pollen-specific and plasma membrane–localized receptor-like kinase from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). LePRK1 interacts with another receptor,

Optimization of In Vitro Pecan Pollen Germination [PDF]
HortScience, 2011 Storage of pollen from 1 year to the next is often needed to enable desired crosses to be made in a pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] breeding program. Stored pollen is usually tested for viability through the use of in vitro germination tests.
