Pollen Tube and Plant Reproduction [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 The pollen tube was a fundamental step forward in the evolution of terrestrial plants; in fact, it allowed plants to liberate themselves from water demand during reproduction [...]

ROS in the Male–Female Interactions During Pollination: Function and Regulation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The male–female interactions in pollination mediate pollen hydration and germination, pollen tube growth and fertilization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from both male and female tissues play regulatory roles for the communication between the ...

Pollen Germination and Tube Growth in Northern Highbush Blueberry are Inhibited by Extreme Heat
HortScience, 2023 The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme heat events threaten crop productivity globally. Certain phases of plant reproduction necessary for fertilization are highly sensitive to extreme heat, particularly during pollen development, germination,

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 ...

Nitric oxide participates in cold-inhibited Camellia sinensis pollen germination and tube growth partly via cGMP in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nitric oxide (NO) plays essential roles in many biotic and abiotic stresses in plant development procedures, including pollen tube growth. Here, effects of NO on cold stress inhibited pollen germination and tube growth in Camellia sinensis were ...

An extracellular transglutaminase is required for apple pollen tube growth [PDF]
, 2010 An extracellular form of the calcium-dependent protein-crosslinking enzyme TGase (transglutaminase) was demonstrated to be involved in the apical growth of Malus domestica pollen tube.

Actin Bundles in The Pollen Tube [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 The angiosperm pollen tube delivers two sperm cells into the embryo sac through a unique growth strategy, named tip growth, to accomplish fertilization. A great deal of experiments have demonstrated that actin bundles play a pivotal role in pollen tube tip growth.

Transport Logistics in Pollen Tubes [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2013 Cellular organelles move within the cellular volume and the effect of the resulting drag forces on the liquid causes bulk movement in the cytosol. The movement of both organelles and cytosol leads to an overall motion pattern called cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis.

Mechanical design of apertures and the infolding of pollen grain [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 117, 26600-26607 (2020), 2020 When pollen grains become exposed to the environment, they rapidly desiccate. To protect themselves until rehydration, the grains undergo characteristic infolding with the help of special structures in the grain wall---apertures---where the otherwise thick exine shell is absent or reduced in thickness.

Plants, 2022 Nitric oxide (NO), as a signal molecule, is involved in the mediation of heavy-metal-stress-induced physiological responses in plants. In this study, we investigated the effect of NO on Camellia sinensis pollen tubes exposed to aluminum (Al) stress ...
