Cell Wall Composition, Biosynthesis and Remodeling during Pollen Tube Growth

open access: yesPlants, 2013
The pollen tube is a fast tip-growing cell carrying the two sperm cells to the ovule allowing the double fertilization process and seed setting. To succeed in this process, the spatial and temporal controls of pollen tube growth within the female organ ...

An extracellular transglutaminase is required for apple pollen tube growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An extracellular form of the calcium-dependent protein-crosslinking enzyme TGase (transglutaminase) was demonstrated to be involved in the apical growth of Malus domestica pollen tube.

Assessing flower‐visiting arthropod diversity in apple orchards through metabarcoding of environmental DNA from flowers and visual census

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 117-131, January 2023., 2023
The diversity of flower‐visiting arthropods in four Danish apple orchards was assessed using molecular (metabarcoding) and non‐molecular techniques. The aim was to obtain a broader overview of arhtropod communities present to support future management practices towards more sustainable agricultural systems.

Actin Bundles in The Pollen Tube [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
The angiosperm pollen tube delivers two sperm cells into the embryo sac through a unique growth strategy, named tip growth, to accomplish fertilization. A great deal of experiments have demonstrated that actin bundles play a pivotal role in pollen tube tip growth.

Mechanical design of apertures and the infolding of pollen grain [PDF]

open access: yesProc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 117, 26600-26607 (2020), 2020
When pollen grains become exposed to the environment, they rapidly desiccate. To protect themselves until rehydration, the grains undergo characteristic infolding with the help of special structures in the grain wall---apertures---where the otherwise thick exine shell is absent or reduced in thickness.

Deglaciation history and subsequent lake dynamics in the Siljan region, south‐central Sweden, based on new LiDAR evidence and sediment records

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3515-3545, December 2022., 2022
Glacial geomorphology and postglacial landforms, derived from LiDAR‐based digital terrain models, together with radiocarbon‐dated sediment sequences, form the basis for landscape reconstruction spanning c. 2000 years (10,500–8500 cal. bp). After formation of streamlined terrain and ribbed moraine tracts followed intense glaciofluvial activity at ...

Nitric Oxide Participates in Aluminum-Stress-Induced Pollen Tube Growth Inhibition in Tea (Camelliasinensis) by Regulating CsALMTs

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Nitric oxide (NO), as a signal molecule, is involved in the mediation of heavy-metal-stress-induced physiological responses in plants. In this study, we investigated the effect of NO on Camellia sinensis pollen tubes exposed to aluminum (Al) stress ...

Transport Logistics in Pollen Tubes [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2013
Cellular organelles move within the cellular volume and the effect of the resulting drag forces on the liquid causes bulk movement in the cytosol. The movement of both organelles and cytosol leads to an overall motion pattern called cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis.

Durotropic Growth of Pollen Tubes [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2020
To reach the female gametophyte, growing pollen tubes must penetrate different tissues within the pistil, the female reproductive organ of a flower. Past research has identified various chemotropic cues that guide pollen tubes through the transmitting tract of the pistil, which represents the longest segment of its growth path.

Effect of boron toxicity on pollen tube cell wall architecture and the relationship of cell wall components of Castanea mollissima Blume

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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 ...
