Rapid tip growth: Insights from pollen tubes [PDF]
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2011 Pollen tubes extend rapidly in an oscillatory manner by the extreme form of polarized growth, tip growth, and provide an exciting system for studying the spatiotemporal control of polarized cell growth. The Rho-family ROP GTPase is a key signaling molecule in this growth control and is periodically activated at the apical plasma membrane to spatially ...

The effect of temperature on pollen germination and pollen tube growth of sour cherry cultivars [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2014 The study was carried out to determine the effect of three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C) on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth of five sour cherry cultivars: ‘Heimanns Konservenweichsel’, ‘Kelleriis 14’, ‘Oblačinska ...

A rapid, inexpensive, and semi-quantitative method for determining pollen tube extension using fluorescence [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Pollen tubes extend rapidly when pollen grains are incubated in defined media. Tube extension requires many critical functions of plant cells including molecular signaling, cytoskeleton remodeling, secretion, and cell wall synthesis ...

Cadmium stress disrupts the endomembrane organelles and endocytosis during Picea wilsonii pollen germination and tube growth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 As one of the most severe pollutants, cadmium has been reported to be harmful to plant cells, but the effects of cadmium on gymnosperm pollen germination and tube growth and the mechanism of this involvement are still unclear.

Expression-based and co-localization detection of arabinogalactan protein 6 and arabinogalactan protein 11 interactors in Arabidopsis pollen and pollen tubes [PDF]
, 2013 Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are cell wall proteoglycans that have been shown to be important for pollen development. An Arabidopsis double null mutant for two pollen-specific AGPs (agp6 agp11) showed reduced pollen tube growth and compromised ...

Spermidine Modulates Pollen Tube Growth by Affecting the Factors Involved in Pollen Tube Elongation
Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023 Putrescine, spermine, and spermidine are among the most significant polyamines for plant growth and development, including pollen tube elongation. Although the effects of putrescine and spermine are well-known on tube elongation, little is known about the impact of spermidine.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel Genes Related to Pollen Development in Rice
Plants, 2022 In the angiosperm, pollen germinates and rapidly expands the pollen tube toward the ovule. This process is important for plant double fertilization and seed setting.
