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.

The cytoskeleton in the pollen tube
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2015The cytoskeleton in pollen tubes has been intensively studied, because of its abundance and prominent roles and because the pollen tube is an excellent experimental system for cell biological studies. Pollen actin microfilaments (MFs) exist as multiple distinct populations, each participating in a specific cellular trafficking or organization process ...

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.

Culture of Pollen Tubes for Chromosomal Analysis at the Pollen Tube Division
Stain Technology, 1953It is possible to grow pollen tubes routinely for cytological analysis of nuclei at the pollen tube division. Pollen has been grown successfully after temperature, pressure, gas, moisture, and radiation treatments. The technic for growing Tradescantia pollen is described, but any method is satisfactory which ensures that: (a) the pollen is kept dry ...

Pollen tubes and the physical world
Trends in Plant Science, 2011The primary goal of our previous opinion paper (Winship, L.J. et al. (2010) Trends Plant Sci. 15, 363-369) [1] was to put two models for the control of pollen tube growth on the same theoretical and biophysical footing, and to then test both for consistency with basic principles and with experimental data.

Calcium entry into pollen tubes
Trends in Plant Science, 2012Growing pollen tubes require calcium to maintain a tip-focused cytosolic gradient and as a constituent of the constantly expanding cell wall. Advances in cell and molecular biology as well as electrophysiology implicate several candidate channels and receptors in the flow of calcium into the cell.

Pollen and Pollen Tube Proteomics
2007Germinated pollen grains form pollen tubes that accomplish rapid polar- ized growth within female gametophytic tissues in order to deliver the sperm cell to the ovule. This process is essential for successful plant fertilization in vivo. Pollen tubes are considered to be an ideal model system to study tip growth. A more com- prehensive understanding of

Actin in Pollen and Pollen Tubes
2000Flowering plants rely on the highly polarized process of pollen tube growth for delivery of the sperm cells and thus for sexual reproduction. Although it has long been known that the actin cytoskeleton is necessary for pollen grain germination and tube growth, the precise structure of the actin arrays and their regulation by actin-associated proteins ...

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 ...

The pollen tube paradigm revisited
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2012The polar growth process characterizing pollen tube elongation has attracted numerous modeling attempts over the past years. While initial models focused on recreating the correct cellular geometry, recent models are increasingly based on experimentally assessed cellular parameters such as the dynamics of signaling processes and the mechanical ...
