Unusual behavior of growing pollen tubes in the ovary of plum culture (Prunus domestica L.) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2010 Unusual behavior of growing pollen tubes in different combinations of pollination was observed in the ovary of the plum (Prunus domestica L.) cv 'Čačanska Lepotica'. It primarily refers to several issues, i.e.

How pollen tubes fight for food: the impact of sucrose carriers and invertases of Arabidopsis thaliana on pollen development and pollen tube growth [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Pollen tubes of higher plants grow very rapidly until they reach the ovules to fertilize the female gametes. This growth process is energy demanding, however, the nutrition strategies of pollen are largely unexplored.

LINC-complex mediated positioning of the vegetative nucleus is involved in calcium and ROS signaling in Arabidopsis pollen tubes [PDF]
Nucleus, 2020 Nuclear movement and positioning play a role in developmental processes throughout life. Nuclear movement and positioning are mediated primarily by linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes.

Nanoporous silica gel can compete with the flower stigma in germinating and attracting pollen tubes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 To find nanoporous substrates with hydrodynamic properties useful for pollen hydration and germination, we used the glassy Silica gel and Vycor scales and pollen with different morphological and physiological traits, that of Crocus vernus, and that of ...

Microtubules play a role in trafficking prevacuolar compartments to vacuoles in tobacco pollen tubes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Fine regulation of exocytosis and endocytosis plays a basic role in pollen tube growth. Excess plasma membrane secreted during pollen tube elongation is known to be retrieved by endocytosis and partially reused in secretory pathways through the Golgi ...

A Plant-Derived Antifungal Agent, Poacic Acid, Inhibits Germination and Tube Growth of Lily Pollen [PDF]
PlantsPoacic acid is a novel natural antifungal agent. It inhibits the growth of fungal cells, including budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by inhibiting the synthesis of β-1,3-glucan, which is a major component of the fungal cell wall.

Possible molecular mechanisms of persistent pollen tube growth without de novo transcription
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The vegetative cell nucleus proceeds ahead of a pair of sperm cells located beneath the pollen tube tip during germination. The tip-localized vegetative nucleus had been considered to play a pivotal role in the control of directional pollen tube growth ...

Penetration of the stigma and style elicits a novel transcriptome in pollen tubes, pointing to genes critical for growth in a pistil. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic medium, their trajectory is random and their growth rates are slower compared ...

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.
