Pollen Tube Growth and Self-Compatibility in Almond [PDF]
Plants, 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.

Durotropic Growth of Pollen Tubes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2020 To reach the female gametophyte, growing pollen tubes must penetrate different tissues within the pistil, the female reproductive organ of a flower. Past research has identified various chemotropic cues that guide pollen tubes through the transmitting tract of the pistil, which represents the longest segment of its growth path.

Editorial: Regulation of Pollen Tube Growth [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 In angiosperms, the pollen tube is a simple system composed of the vegetative cell and the two sperm cells which, nevertheless, accomplishes a very important process, essential for the life of flowering plants on Earth, i.e., sexual reproduction. In its simplicity, the pollen tube allowed plants to reproduce on land, even in the absence of water ...

POLLEN TUBE GROWTH IN MANDARIN
Revista Fitotecnia Mexicana, 2022 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.

New 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.

Mechanics and hydraulics of pollen tube growth [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2021 SummaryAll kingdoms of life have evolved tip‐growing cells able to mine their environment or deliver cargo to remote targets. The basic cellular processes supporting these functions are understood in increasing detail, but the multiple interactions between them lead to complex responses that require quantitative models to be disentangled.

Regulation of Pollen Tube Growth by Transglutaminase [PDF]
Plants, 2013 In pollen tubes, cytoskeleton proteins are involved in many aspects of pollen germination and growth, from the transport of sperm cells to the asymmetrical distribution of organelles to the deposition of cell wall material. These activities are based on the dynamics of the cytoskeleton.

The effect of temperature on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of pear cultivars [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2016 The effect of three different temperatures (8, 16 and 24°C) on pollen germination and length of pollen tube in vitro was investigated in four pear cultivars (‘Butirra Precoce Morettini’, ‘Williams’, ‘Conference’ and ‘Abate Fetel’).

ROS in the Male–Female Interactions During Pollination: Function and Regulation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The male–female interactions in pollination mediate pollen hydration and germination, pollen tube growth and fertilization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from both male and female tissues play regulatory roles for the communication between the ...

Cell Wall Composition, Biosynthesis and Remodeling during Pollen Tube Growth
Plants, 2013 The pollen tube is a fast tip-growing cell carrying the two sperm cells to the ovule allowing the double fertilization process and seed setting. To succeed in this process, the spatial and temporal controls of pollen tube growth within the female organ ...
