Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth in Gymnosperms. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are common to all seed plants, but these processes first developed in gymnosperms and still serve for their successful sexual reproduction. The main body of data on the reproductive physiology, however, was obtained on flowering plants, and one should be careful to extrapolate the discovered patterns to ...

Pollen biology and hormesis: Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation
Science of The Total Environment, 2021 This paper evaluated the occurrence of hormetic dose responses in pollen reported over the past eight decades. Hormetic doses responses were induced by a wide range of chemical and physical agents in 34 plant species for pollen germination and pollen tube growth/elongation.
