Possible molecular mechanisms of persistent pollen tube growth without de novo transcription
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The vegetative cell nucleus proceeds ahead of a pair of sperm cells located beneath the pollen tube tip during germination. The tip-localized vegetative nucleus had been considered to play a pivotal role in the control of directional pollen tube growth ...

Perspectives on deciphering mechanisms underlying plant heat stress response and thermotolerance [PDF]
, 2013 Global warming is a major threat for agriculture and food safety and in many cases the negative effects are already apparent. The current challenge of basic and applied plant science is to decipher the molecular mechanisms of heat stress response (HSR ...

Biologia Plantarum, 2015 Roles for nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) during pollen-tube growth have been well established in angiosperms, but there remains lack of information regarding their potential signalling roles in pollen tubes in gymnosperms.

Reproductive abnormalities in interspecific crosses involving Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium arboreum [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2010 A successful cross fertilization involving two different species implies that a chain of reproductive process takes placeunhampered after pollination. The coordination and interaction between genes or gene complexes in the pollen parent andmatching gene ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background The transmitting tissue of the style is the pathway for pollen tube growth to the ovules and has components that function in recognizing and discriminating appropriate pollen genotypes. In Nicotiana tabacum, the class III pistil extensin-like (

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?

Research Progress on Calcium Ion in Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility
Journal of Horticultural Research, 2022 Calcium ions are involved in plant self-incompatibility response as important signaling substances in cells. In the sporophytic self-incompatibility response, Ca2+ enters the stigma papilla cells and plays a key role in inhibiting incompatible pollen ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Pollen tubes are an excellent system for studying the cellular dynamics and complex signaling pathways that coordinate polarized tip growth. Although several signaling mechanisms acting in the tip-growing pollen tube have been described, our knowledge on
