Callose (β-1,3 glucan) is essential for Arabidopsis pollen wall patterning, but not tube growth [PDF]
Background: Callose (β-1,3 glucan) separates developing pollen grains, preventing their underlying walls (exine) from fusing. The pollen tubes that transport sperm to female gametes also contain callose, both in their walls as well as in the plugs that ...

Arabidopsis RIC1 Severs Actin Filaments at the Apex to Regulate Pollen Tube Growth
RIC1 regulates pollen tube growth through its F-actin severing and capping activities, which contributes to the dynamics and abundance of F-actin in the tip of pollen tubes. Pollen tubes deliver sperms to the ovule for fertilization via tip growth.

Effects of Gamma Radiation on Salix nigra Marsh Cuttings [PDF]
Dormant cuttings of Salix nigra Marsh, were exposed to gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source at a dose rate of 1110 roentgens (r) per minute. Exposure doses ranged from 50 r through 100 Kr with 100% mortality at 10 Kr.

Pollen tube growth in mandarin
Pollen tube growth was studied in cvs. Monica, Reyna, Dancy, and Satsuma mandarin (Citrus reticulata unshiu Marc). Pollen tubes were stained with lacmoid and observed with a white light microscope. Lacmoid stained the callose brilliant blue. Pollen grains deposited on the stigma varied from 367 to 4170 among the four cultivars.

Pollen tubes growth in almond flowers
A two-year study indicated that, under orchard conditions, it takes 96 to 120 hours for pollen tubes to grow through the styles of almond flowers. In view of a rapid decline in receptivity, probably the result of embryo sac degeneration, it is assumed that the sooner the flower is cross-pollinated after opening, the greater the chance of fertilization ...
