Pollen Grain Microscopic Image Classification Using an Ensemble of Fine-Tuned Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Pollen grain micrograph classification has multiple applications in medicine and biology. Automatic pollen grain image classification can alleviate the problems of manual categorisation such as subjectivity and time constraints. While a number of computer-based methods have been introduced in the literature to perform this task, classification ...

The role of diverse LURE-type cysteine-rich peptides as signaling molecules in plant reproduction [PDF]
In angiosperm sexual reproduction, the male pollen tube undergoes a series of interactions with female tissues. For efficient growth and precise guidance, the pollen tube perceives extracellular ligands.

Neglected plant parasites: Mitrastemonaceae
Mitrastemonaceae are a remarkable family of parasitic flowering plants. The two species that make up this family have a disjunct distribution and a peculiar appearance. Both are devoid of roots, stems, and regular leaves and live inside the roots of their host plants for most of their life cycle.

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

Quantification of Pollen Viability in Lantana camara By Digital Holographic Microscopy [PDF]
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]
Background: The characteristics of pollen tube growth are not constant, but display distinct patterns of growth within the different tissues of the pistil.

Sexual reproduction of flowering plants depends on delivery of the sperm to the egg, which occurs through a long, polarized projection of a pollen cell, called the pollen tube. The pollen tube grows exclusively at its tip, and this growth is distinguished by very fast rates and reaches extended lengths.
