A calcium-dependent protein kinase, ZmCPK32, specifically expressed in maize pollen to regulate pollen tube growth. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) play an essential role in the regulation of pollen tube growth. Although CPK genes have been identified in maize, and some have been functionally characterized, the molecular function of ZmCPKs associated with ...

Phosphatidic acid counteracts S-RNase signaling in pollen by stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
S-RNase is the female determinant of self-incompatibility (SI) in pear (Pyrus bretschneideri). After translocation to the pollen tube, S-RNase degrades rRNA and induces pollen tube death in an S-haplotype-specific manner. In this study, we found that the

Heat stress induces spikelet sterility in rice at anthesis through inhibition of pollen tube elongation interfering with auxin homeostasis in pollinated pistils

open access: yesRice, 2018
BackgroundPollen tube elongation in the pistil is a key step for pollination success in plants, and auxins play an important role in this process. However, the function of auxins in pollen tube elongation in the pistil of rice under heat stress has ...

Roles for NO and ROS signalling in pollen germination and pollen-tube elongation in Cupressus arizonica

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2015
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.

The Arabidopsis GPI-anchored protein COBL11 is necessary for regulating pollen tube integrity

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Pollen tube integrity is required for achieving double fertilization in angiosperms. The rapid alkalinization factor4/19-ANXUR1/2-Buddha’s paper seal 1/2 (RALF4/19-ANX1/2-BUPS1/2)-complex-mediated signaling pathway is critical to maintain pollen

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 Growth and Self-Compatibility in Almond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Although pollen tube growth has been an important criterion for self-compatibility evaluation in almond, there is not a clear-cut separation between positive and negative growth of pollen tubes in the different genotypes.

Pollen tube tip growth [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 1989
summaryThis review considers pollen tube growth with regard to current information on pollen tube cytoplasm, wall structure and calcium ion interactions with pollen tubes. Pollen tubes have a marked cytoplasmic Polarity with a number of distinct zones along the tube, each with a characteristic complement of cytoplasmic and nuclear structures.

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 (
