Identification and functional analysis of arabinogalactan protein expressed in pear pollen tubes
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023 Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and play a vital role during the process of plant sexual reproduction. In this study, we performed a comprehensive identification of the PbrAGPs expressed in pear pollen and ...

The Arabidopsis thaliana Class II Formin FH13 Modulates Pollen Tube Growth
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Formins are a large, evolutionarily conserved family of actin-nucleating proteins with additional roles in regulating microfilament, microtubule, and membrane dynamics.

Nitric oxide participates in cold-inhibited Camellia sinensis pollen germination and tube growth partly via cGMP in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nitric oxide (NO) plays essential roles in many biotic and abiotic stresses in plant development procedures, including pollen tube growth. Here, effects of NO on cold stress inhibited pollen germination and tube growth in Camellia sinensis were ...

Penetration of the stigma and style elicits a novel transcriptome in pollen tubes, pointing to genes critical for growth in a pistil. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic medium, their trajectory is random and their growth rates are slower compared ...

Pollen Germination and Tube Growth in Northern Highbush Blueberry are Inhibited by Extreme Heat
HortScience, 2023 The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme heat events threaten crop productivity globally. Certain phases of plant reproduction necessary for fertilization are highly sensitive to extreme heat, particularly during pollen development, germination,
