Characteristics of Fruiting and Pollen Tube Growth of Apple Autotetraploid Cultivars Showing Self-compatibility

Pollen Tube Growth and Self-Compatibility in Almond.

Although pollen tube growth has been an important criterion for self-compatibility evaluation in almond, there is not a clear-cut separation between positive and negative growth of pollen tubes in the different genotypes. The examination of pollen tube growth after selfing almond seedlings has allowed establishing different levels of compatibility, but not a clear-cut separation between self-co...

The effect of supplementary hand pollination on fruit set and pollen tube growth in apple

S-RNases from self-incompatible and -compatible apple cultivars: purification, cloning, enzymic properties, and pollen tube growth inhibitory activity.

Four S-RNases (RNase associated with self-incompatibility) were purified from the styles of two apple cultivars (Malus domestica), a self-incompatible cv., Starking Delicious (SD), and a self-compatible cv., Megumi (MG). Each cultivar produced two S-RNases and their enzymatic properties such as specific activity, pH optimum, thermal stability, and molecular mass, were characterized. The four S-...

pollen tube growth track and determination of compatibility in almond

almond is one of the most important species of genus prunus. most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible and some of others are cross-incompatible. in this study compatibility and frequency pollen tube penetrate in the ovary were performed in three groups. the first group included the genotype a9.7 as female parent and tuono with genotypes a230, a10.11, a8.39 as male parents, the ...

An extracellular transglutaminase is required for apple pollen tube growth.

An extracellular form of the calcium-dependent protein-cross-linking enzyme TGase (transglutaminase) was demonstrated to be involved in the apical growth of Malus domestica pollen tube. Apple pollen TGase and its substrates were co-localized within aggregates on the pollen tube surface, as determined by indirect immunofluorescence staining and the in situ cross-linking of fluorescently labelled...
