Reactive oxygen species mediate pollen tube rupture to release sperm for fertilization in Arabidopsis
Q Duan, D Kita, EA Johnson, M Aggarwal… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
In flowering plants, sperm are transported inside pollen tubes to the female gametophyte for
fertilization. The female gametophyte induces rupture of the penetrating pollen tube …

Pollen tube invasive growth is promoted by callose
Abstract Callose, a β-1, 3-glucan, lines the pollen tube cell wall except for the apical growing
region, and it constitutes the main polysaccharide in pollen tube plugs. These regularly …
