Boron (B) is essential to plant development. However, excessive B is toxic to plants. This research was performed to evaluate the effects of B toxicity on cell wall architecture of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) pollen tubes with emphasis ...

Structural basis for recognition of RALF peptides by LRX proteins during pollen tube growth
Significance Plant reproduction relies on proper pollen tube growth to reach the female gametes. This process is highly regulated by a family of secreted signaling peptides that are recognized by cell-wall monitoring proteins to enable plant ...

LLG2/3 Are Co-receptors in BUPS/ANX-RALF Signaling to Regulate Arabidopsis Pollen Tube Integrity.
In angiosperms, two sperm cells are transported and delivered by the pollen tube to the ovule to achieve double fertilization. Extensive communication takes place between the pollen tube and the female tissues until the sperm cell cargo is ultimately ...

WD40-domain protein GORI is an integrative scaffold that is required for pollen tube growth in rice
The pollen tube plays a critical role in angiosperm plants by delivering sperm gametes for double fertilization. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying pollen tube germination and growth are crucial to crop plants, they are poorly understood. Here,

Pollen biology and hormesis: Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation
This paper evaluated the occurrence of hormetic dose responses in pollen reported over the past eight decades. Hormetic doses responses were induced by a wide range of chemical and physical agents in 34 plant species for pollen germination and pollen tube growth/elongation.

Pollen tube growth is crucial for successful fertilization. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the ANXUR (ANX)/BUPS receptor kinase complex controls and maintains pollen tube growth in response to autocrine RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR4/19 (RALF4/19) signaling ...

Possible molecular mechanisms of persistent pollen tube growth without de novo transcription
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 ...

Significance Plant sexual reproduction is required for seed and fruit production and is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures, suggesting that climate change may have profound agricultural impacts through inhibition of this process.

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]
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 ...
