During sexual reproduction of flowering plants, pollen tube guidance by pistil tissue is critical
for the delivery of nonmotile sperm cells to female gametes. Multistep controls of pollen tube …

Key message Overview of pollen development. Abstract Male gametophyte development of
angiosperms is a complex process that requires coordinated activity of different cell types …

The primary plant cell wall is a dynamically regulated composite material of multiple
biopolymers that forms a scaffold enclosing the plant cells. The mechanochemical make-up …

Pollen tube guidance is a unique navigating system that is required for the successful sexual
reproduction of plants. As plant sperm cells are non-motile and egg cells are embedded …

Filamentous fungi that colonize microenvironments, such as animal or plant tissue or soil,
must find optimal paths through their habitat, but the biological basis for negotiating growth …

Conventional methods of plant cell analysis rely on growing plant cells in soil pots or
agarose plates, followed by screening the plant phenotypes in traditional greenhouses and …

Tip-growing cells have the unique property of invading living tissues and abiotic growth
matrices. To do so, they exert significant penetrative forces. In plant and fungal cells, these …

Despite that single-cell-type-level analyses have been extensively conducted on animal
models to gain new insights into complex biological processes; the unique biological and …

Biomechanical and mathematical modeling of plant developmental processes requires
quantitative information about the structural and mechanical properties of living cells, tissues …

Many plant processes occur in the context of and in interaction with a surrounding matrix
such as soil (eg root growth and root–microbe interactions) or surrounding tissues (eg pollen …
