Effects of temperature on pollen viability and in vivo pollen tube growth in Citrus sinensis
Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2022 Temperature is the major factor in global warming and strongly influences the success of plant sexual reproduction. Therefore, there isan urgent need to assess the vulnerability of species for breeding and planning effective actions.

Distinct short-range ovule signals attract or repel
BMC Plant Biology, 2006 Background Pollen tubes deliver sperm after navigating through flower tissues in response to attractive and repulsive cues. Genetic analyses in maize and Arabidopsis thaliana and cell ablation studies in Torenia fournieri have shown that the female ...

2, 6-Dichlorobenzonitrile causes multiple effects on pollen tube growth beyond altering cellulose synthesis in Pinus bungeana Zucc. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cellulose is an important component of cell wall, yet its location and function in pollen tubes remain speculative. In this paper, we studied the role of cellulose synthesis in pollen tube elongation in Pinus bungeana Zucc.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel Genes Related to Pollen Development in Rice
Plants, 2022 In the angiosperm, pollen germinates and rapidly expands the pollen tube toward the ovule. This process is important for plant double fertilization and seed setting.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Organization and Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton in the Pollen Tube
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Proper organization of the actin cytoskeleton is crucial for pollen tube growth. However, the precise mechanisms by which the actin cytoskeleton regulates pollen tube growth remain to be further elucidated.

Effects of post-translational modifications catalysed by pollen transglutaminase on the functional properties of microtubules and actin filaments [PDF]
, 2009 TGases (transglutaminases) are a class of calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse the interactions between acyl acceptor glutamyl residues and amine donors, potentially making crosslinks between proteins.

Pollen physiology and fertilisation in Vicia Faba L [PDF]
, 1990 In many legume crop species, early-formed fruits or those located closest to the photosynthate are more likely to mature than other fruits. This is so in the Vicia faba crop.
