Comprehensive analysis of tobacco pollen transcriptome unveils common pathways in polar cell expansion and underlying heterochronic shift during spermatogenesis [PDF]
Background Many flowering plants produce bicellular pollen. The two cells of the pollen grain are destined for separate fates in the male gametophyte, which provides a unique opportunity to study genetic interactions that govern guided single-cell polar ...

Pollen germination and pollen tube growth in ZP maize lines [PDF]
The study was conducted on the in vitro pollen germination at 26?, 28?, 32? and 35?C for 24h of male parental lines, pollen tube growth in vivo in cross pollination of female and male parental lines that make couples in four hybrids: ZP 504 su (? ZPPL 51 ? ? ZPPL 67); ZP 677 (? ZPPL 17 ? ? ZPPL 201); ZP 704 (? ZPPL 109 ? ?

Spermidine Modulates Pollen Tube Growth by Affecting the Factors Involved in Pollen Tube Elongation
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.

This study shows that BLADE‐ON‐PETIOLE (BOP) proteins regulate floral abscission and senescence in tomato by interacting with TFAM1 to form transcriptional condensates controlling the ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HOMEOBOX GENE 1 (ATH1)‐mediated abscission pathway.

Boron toxicity causes multiple effects on Malus domestica pollen tube growth
Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants. However, boron is also toxic to cells at high concentrations, although the mechanism of this stress is not known.

Agent-Based Modeling of Pollen Competition [PDF]
Non-random mating in Arabidopsis Thaliana is, at least in part, due to intense competition between pollen grains to fertilize the limited number of ovules.

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Pollen tube incompatibility reaction on the stigma in selfpollinated Sinapis alba L.
After selfpollination of Sinapis alba L. pollen tubes growth is inhibited on the stigma. The pollen grains germinate 3-4 hours after pollination. The pollen give rise to one or more pollen tubes. They grow along the papillae.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Metabolic control of tobacco pollination by sugars and invertases [PDF]
Pollination in flowering plants is initiated by germination of pollen grains on stigmas followed by fast growth of pollen tubes representing highly energy-consuming processes.
