Proper growth of the pollen tube depends on an elaborate mechanism that integrates several molecular and cytological sub-processes and ensures a cell shape adapted to the transport of gametes.

Glycosidases in pear pollen tube development [PDF]
During the in vitro germination of pear pollen, several hydrolases were released into the medium. They were apparently eluted from the pollen grain, since the activity was the same when germination was inhibited. These enzymes, once released, had no role

Manifold limits on seed production by individual flowering plants
Abstract Premise Historically, angiosperm seed production has been considered to be either pollen or resource limited. However, seed production involves more than pollen and seed resources and typically involves multiple ovules in multiple flowers. Therefore, various constraints may act simultaneously. Methods Proportional components of seed production

Reproductive abnormalities in interspecific crosses involving Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium arboreum [PDF]
A successful cross fertilization involving two different species implies that a chain of reproductive process takes placeunhampered after pollination. The coordination and interaction between genes or gene complexes in the pollen parent andmatching gene ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...
