... to PT guidance governed by the FG. Arabidopsis maize micropyle pollen tube guidance signalling synergid Torenia To understand the various mechanisms and components of the FG-controlled last phases of PT growth and guidance, several approaches have been performed in different...

.... Especially in the economically most import plant family, the Poaceae or grasses, progamic pollen tube development is barely understood. Using maize as a model, we propose to divide pollen tube germination, growth and guidance towards the female gametophyte into five distinct phases. The model is adapted from...
