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.

Dynein-related polypeptides in pollen and pollen tubes
Sexual Plant Reproduction, 1996Microtubules in pollen tubes are evident within the vegetative and generative cell cytoplasm. This observation led to the formulation of several hypotheses regarding the role of microtubules in cytoplasmic movement and the migration of the vegetative nucleus/generative cell along the pollen tube. The study of microtubular motor proteins in pollen tubes

Actin and pollen tube growth [PDF]
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 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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The Cytoskeleton of Pollen Grains and Pollen Tubes
1992The cytoskeleton is assumed to be involved in many internal functions of the eukaryotic cell, e.g. organelle movement, mitotic and meiotic division, cell morphogenesis and cell growth (Dustin, 1984; Bershadsky and Vasiliev, 1988). Examination of a broad variaty of mono- and dicotyledones has revealed the presence of microtubules and/or actin filaments ...

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.
