Reproductive abnormalities in interspecific crosses involving Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium arboreum [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2010
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 ...

Structure and function of class III pistil-specific extensin-like protein in interspecific reproductive barriers

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The transmitting tissue of the style is the pathway for pollen tube growth to the ovules and has components that function in recognizing and discriminating appropriate pollen genotypes. In Nicotiana tabacum, the class III pistil extensin-like (

Quantification of Pollen Viability in Lantana camara By Digital Holographic Microscopy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Pollen grains represent the male gametes of seed plants and their viability is critical for efficient sexual reproduction in the plant life cycle. Pollen analysis is used in diverse research thematics to address a range of botanical, ecological and geological questions. More recently it has been recognized that pollen may also be a vector for transgene

Glycoprotein composition along the pistil of Malus x domestica and the modulation of pollen tube growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: The characteristics of pollen tube growth are not constant, but display distinct patterns of growth within the different tissues of the pistil.

Pollen tube contents from failed fertilization contribute to seed coat initiation in Arabidopsis [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
Plant seeds are essential for human beings, constituting 70% of carbohydrate resources worldwide; examples include rice, wheat, and corn. In angiosperms, fertilization of the egg by a sperm cell is required for seed formation; therefore, fertilization ...

Effects of temperature on pollen viability and in vivo pollen tube growth in Citrus sinensis

open access: yesJournal 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.

Frustration-induced inherent instability and growth oscillations in pollen tubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In a seed plant a pollen tube is a vessel that transports male gamete cells to an ovule to achieve fertilization. It consists of one elongated cell, which exhibits growth oscillations, until it bursts completing its function. Up till now, the mechanism behind the periodic character of the growth has not been fully understood.

Research Progress on Calcium Ion in Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility

open access: yesJournal of Horticultural Research, 2022
Calcium ions are involved in plant self-incompatibility response as important signaling substances in cells. In the sporophytic self-incompatibility response, Ca2+ enters the stigma papilla cells and plays a key role in inhibiting incompatible pollen ...
