Chloride fluxes in lily pollen tubes: a critical reevaluation

, 2004
Microelectrodes, made from a Cl?-selective liquid ion exchanger previously used to measure putative Cl- fluxes in Lilium longiflorum pollen tubes, were characterized. The electrodes were poorly selective, possessing only about 10-fold selectivity for Cl?

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

Response of in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth of strawberry cultivars to temperature

, 2021
Effects of different temperatures (7, 15, 25 and 30 degrees C) on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth were evaluated in six strawberry cultivars, including 'Allstar', 'Cavendish', 'Chandler', 'Elsanta', 'Elvira' and 'Selva'.

In vitro pollen germination of feijoa (Acca sellowiana (Berg)Burret) [PDF]

, 2005
The objective of this work was to establish a suitable culture medium and conditions to be used for in vitro germination tests of feijoa pollen. It also had the aim to test the possibility of storage of this pollen in a freezer (-18 °C).

Improved Autotetraploid Induction Methods in Four Diploid Wild Peanut Species: Arachis duranensis, A. stenosperma, A. magna, and A. batizocoi

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Effects of post-translational modifications catalysed by pollen transglutaminase on the functional properties of microtubules and actin filaments [PDF]

, 2009
TGases (transglutaminases) are a class of calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse the interactions between acyl acceptor glutamyl residues and amine donors, potentially making crosslinks between proteins.

Effect of Sucrose and Boric Acid on in-vitro Pollen Germination of Guava (Psidium guajava) Varieties

, 2018
The Premise of Research: To reproduce, higher plants utilize a unique multicellular microorganism: The male gametophyte, or pollen grain. It is known fact that pollen has a strong impact on physical and biochemical quality of fruit.
