MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120 function as male factors that control pollen tube-synergid interaction in Arabidopsis thaliana fertilization. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Pollen tube reception involves a pollen tube-synergid interaction that controls the discharge of sperm cells into the embryo sac during plant fertilization.

Geometric and mechanical guidance: Role of stigmatic epidermis in early pollen tube pathfinding in arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyIn Arabidopsis thaliana, successful fertilisation relies on the precise guidance of the pollen tube as it navigates through the female tissues to deliver sperm cells to ovules.

Cell Wall Composition, Biosynthesis and Remodeling during Pollen Tube Growth
Plants, 2013 The pollen tube is a fast tip-growing cell carrying the two sperm cells to the ovule allowing the double fertilization process and seed setting. To succeed in this process, the spatial and temporal controls of pollen tube growth within the female organ ...

Pollen-expressed RLCKs control pollen tube burst. [PDF]
Plant CommunIn angiosperms, the pollen tube enters the receptive synergid cell, where it ruptures to release its cytoplasm along with two sperm cells. This interaction is complex, and the exact signal transducers that trigger the bursting of pollen tubes are not well understood.

Self S-RNase reduces the expression of two pollen-specific COBRA genes to inhibit pollen tube growth in pear [PDF]
Molecular Horticulture, 2023 Due to self-incompatibility (SI) prevents self-fertilization, natural or artificial cross-pollination has been conducted in many orchards to stabilize fruit yield.

Identification and functional analysis of arabinogalactan protein expressed in pear pollen tubes
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023 Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and play a vital role during the process of plant sexual reproduction. In this study, we performed a comprehensive identification of the PbrAGPs expressed in pear pollen and ...

Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth in Gymnosperms [PDF]
Plants, 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 ...

Penetration of the stigma and style elicits a novel transcriptome in pollen tubes, pointing to genes critical for growth in a pistil. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic medium, their trajectory is random and their growth rates are slower compared ...

The Arabidopsis thaliana Class II Formin FH13 Modulates Pollen Tube Growth
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Formins are a large, evolutionarily conserved family of actin-nucleating proteins with additional roles in regulating microfilament, microtubule, and membrane dynamics.

The effect of temperature on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of pear cultivars [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2016 The effect of three different temperatures (8, 16 and 24°C) on pollen germination and length of pollen tube in vitro was investigated in four pear cultivars (‘Butirra Precoce Morettini’, ‘Williams’, ‘Conference’ and ‘Abate Fetel’).
