Self-incompatibility in plants

S Takayama, A Isogai - Annu. Rev. Plant Biol., 2005 - annualreviews.org
Sexual reproduction in many flowering plants involves self-incompatibility (SI self-
incompatibility), which is one of the most important systems to prevent inbreeding. In many …

Actin cytoskeleton in the control of vesicle transport, cytoplasmic organization, and pollen tube tip growth

R Zhang, Y Xu, R Yi, J Shen, S Huang - Plant Physiology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

Structural and signaling networks for the polar cell growth machinery in pollen tubes

AY Cheung, H Wu - Annu. Rev. Plant Biol., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Pollen tubes elongate within the pistil to transport sperms to the female gametophytes for
fertilization. Pollen tubes grow at their tips through a rapid and polarized cell growth process …

A Rho family GTPase controls actin dynamics and tip growth via two counteracting downstream pathways in pollen tubes

Y Gu, Y Fu, P Dowd, S Li, V Vernoud, S Gilroy… - Journal of Cell …, 2005 - rupress.org
T and RIC4. RIC4 promotes F-actin assembly, whereas RIC3 activates Ca2 signaling that
leads to F-actin disassembly. Overproduction or depletion of either RIC4 or RIC3 causes tip …

Control of the actin cytoskeleton in plant cell growth

PJ Hussey, T Ketelaar, MJ Deeks - Annu. Rev. Plant Biol., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Plant cells grow through increases in volume and cell wall surface area. The mature
morphology of a plant cell is a product of the differential rates of expansion between …

Mechanism of depolymerization and severing of actin filaments and its significance in cytoskeletal dynamics

S Ono - International review of cytology, 2007 - Elsevier
The actin cytoskeleton is one of the major structural components of the cell. It often
undergoes rapid reorganization and plays crucial roles in a number of dynamic cellular …

Spatial control of cell expansion by the plant cytoskeleton

LG Smith, DG Oppenheimer - Annu. Rev. Cell Dev. Biol., 2005 - annualreviews.org
The cytoskeleton plays important roles in plant cell shape determination by influencing the
patterns in which cell wall materials are deposited. Cortical microtubules are thought to …

A role for actin in regulating apoptosis/programmed cell death: evidence spanning yeast, plants and animals

VE Franklin-Tong, CW Gourlay - Biochemical Journal, 2008 - portlandpress.com
Achieving an understanding of how apoptosis/PCD (programmed cell death) is integrated
within cellular responses to environmental and intracellular signals is a daunting task. From …

Gametophytic self-incompatibility: understanding the cellular mechanisms involved in “self” pollen tube inhibition

BA McClure, V Franklin-Tong - Planta, 2006 - Springer
Self-incompatibility (SI) prevents the production of “self” seed and inbreeding by providing a
recognition and rejection system for “self,” or genetically identical, pollen. Studies of …
