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 (

Arabidopsis LIM proteins PLIM2a and PLIM2b regulate actin configuration during pollen tube growth

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2013
The pollen tube grows rapidly, exclusively at its tip, to deliver its sperm for fertilization. The polarized tip growth of pollen tubes is dependent on the highly dynamic actin cytoskeleton. Plant LIM proteins (named after initials of containing proteins

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 ...

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.

A Sugar Transporter Takes Up both Hexose and Sucrose for Sorbitol-Modulated In Vitro Pollen Tube Growth in Apple[OPEN]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2019
A sugar transporter protein, STP13a, mediates the uptake of both hexose and Suc for in vitro pollen tube growth in apple, with its expression regulated by sorbitol via a MYB transcription factor.

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 ...

RALF4/19 peptides interact with LRX proteins to control pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis

open access: yesScience, 2017
Timing a switch in tissue integrity In plants, sperm cells travel through the pollen tube as it grows toward the ovule. Successful fertilization depends on the pollen tube rupturing to release the sperm cells (see the Perspective by Stegmann and Zipfel).

Knockin’ on pollen’s door: live cell imaging of early polarization events in germinating Arabidopsis pollen

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Pollen tubes are an excellent system for studying the cellular dynamics and complex signaling pathways that coordinate polarized tip growth. Although several signaling mechanisms acting in the tip-growing pollen tube have been described, our knowledge on
