POLLEN GERMINATION AND TUBE GROWTH

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 1997
▪ Abstract  Many aspects of Angiosperm pollen germination and tube growth are discussed including mechanisms of dehydration and rehydration, in vitro germination, pollen coat compounds, the dynamic involvement of cytoskeletal elements (actin, microtubules), calcium ion fluxes, extracellular matrix elements (stylar arabinogalactan proteins), and control

Staining Germinating Pollen and Pollen Tubes

Stain Technology, 1958
Germinating pollen on stigmas and pollen tubes in styles of Antirrhinum, Brassica, Oenothera, Raphanus, Rosa, solatium and Tagetes spp. were prepared for examination as follows: The styles were fixed in ethyl alcohol-acetic acid 3:1 for 1 hr, and hydrolyzed at 60°C for 5 to 60 min (depending on the species) in 45% acetic acid.

Keeping pollen tubes on track

Nature Plants, 2020
A major question in plant reproduction is how pollen tubes perceive and decode female cues from the ovule for directional delivery of sperm cells. MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS-O proteins regulate pollen tube guidance by decoding ovular signals.

Pollen-specific pectin methylesterase involved in pollen tube growth [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2006
Pollen tube elongation in the pistil is a crucial step in the sexual reproduction of plants. Because the wall of the pollen tube tip is composed of a single layer of pectin and, unlike most other plant cell walls, does not contain cellulose or callose ...

The Pollen and Pollen Tube

1960
In 1694, Camerarius reported that anthers play the role of male sexual organs in plants (Maheshwari, 1950). Later, AMICI observed pollen tubes travelling through the stigma and style of Portulaca oleracea and in 1830 he concluded that pollen tubes elongate and ultimately come in contact with the ovule (Maheshwari, 1950). Since then the work of numerous

Pollen Tube Development

2010
Pollen tubes grow rapidly in a strictly polarized manner as they transport male reproductive cells through female flower tissues to bring about fertilization. Vegetative pollen tube cells are an excellent model system to investigate processes underlying directional cell expansion.

Pollen mitosis and pollen tube growth inhibition by SO2 in cultured pollen tubes of Tradescantia

Environmental Research, 1976
Abstract Mature pollen of Tradescantia paludosa Anders. Sax clone-3 was collected from greenhouse grown plants and desiccated in the dark for 4–5 hours. The pollen was sown on microslides coated with lactose agar medium (supplemented with 0.02% colchicine).

The pollen tube cytoskeleton

Electron Microscopy Reviews, 1991
In the last few years the role of pollen and the pollen tube in the fertilization process in higher plants has received considerable attention. By ultrastructural, biochemical and immunofluorescent investigations it has been shown that a cytoskeletal apparatus plays a central role in pollen tube growth.

Actin and pollen tube growth

Protoplasma, 2001
Actin microfilaments (MFs) are essential for the growth of the pollen tube. Although it is well known that MFs, together with myosin, deliver the vesicles required for cell elongation, it is becoming evident that the polymerization of new actin MFs, in a process that is independent of actomyosin-dependent vesicle translocation, is also necessary for ...
