Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

Pollen tubes grow rapidly by very fast rates and reach extended lengths to bring about
fertilization during plant reproduction. The pollen tube grows exclusively at its tip …

Roots hairs are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for
acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage. The molecular …

Pollen tubes are highly polarized tip-growing cells that depend on cytosolic pH gradients for
signaling and growth. Autoinhibited plasma membrane proton (H+) ATPases (AHAs) have …

The plant cytoskeleton, consisting of actin filaments and microtubules, is a highly dynamic
filamentous framework involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses …

Tip growth is employed throughout the plant kingdom. Our understanding of tip growth has
benefited from modern tools in molecular genetics, which have enabled the functional …

The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution,
leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant …

Soil flooding has emerged as a serious threat to modern agriculture due to the rapid global
warming and climate change, resulting in catastrophic crop damage and yield losses. The …

In this review, we address the question of how the tip-growing pollen tube achieves its rapid
rate of elongation while maintaining an intact cell wall. Although turgor is essential for …

Apical growth in pollen tubes (PTs) is associated with the presence of tip-focused ion
gradients and fluxes, implying polar localization or regulation of the underlying transporters …
