Since the first description of double fertilization 120 years ago, the processes of pollen tube
growth and guidance, sperm cell release inside the receptive synergid cell, as well as fusion …

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 production of large quantities of micromachines and microrobots is limited by fabrication
methods and the use of synthetic templates. Pollen is one of the most stable structures in the …

Quantitative micromechanical characterization of single cells and multicellular tissues or
organisms is of fundamental importance to the study of cellular growth, morphogenesis, and …

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 …

Similar to seeds, pollen tubes contain lipid droplets that store triacylglycerol (TAG), but the
fate of this TAG as well as the enzymes involved in its breakdown are unknown. Therefore …

The pollen tube features particular traits that can only be understood when integrating cell
biological with cell mechanical concepts. Firstly, regular temporal variations in the growth …

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3, BFO) submicron cubes and 3D BFO/graphene composite materials
were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process. The crystallization processes of the 3D …

Physical forces are involved in the regulation of plant development and morphogenesis by
translating mechanical stress into the modification of physiological processes, which, in turn …
