Pollen Tube Guidance in Flowering Plants
Higher “plants minimize their exposure to pollen from diverse species by precise regulation of flowering time, development of floral organs, and interactions with specific pollinators. These measures do not guarantee success, however, because of the vast quantities of pollen in the environment. Consequently, to ensure that only the appropriate sperm are delivered to the eggs, many plants have e...
متن کاملThermoregulation of foraging honeybees on flowering plants: seasonal variability and influence of radiative heat gain
1. During nectar and pollen foraging in a temperate climate, honeybees are exposed to a broad range of ambient temperatures, challenging their thermoregulatory ability. The body temperature that the bees exhibit results from endothermic heat production, exogenous heat gain from solar radiation, and heat loss. In addition to profitability of foraging, season was suggested to have a considerable ...

متن کاملIsolation of Sperms from the Pollen Tubes of Flowering Plants during Fertilization.
Sperm cells have been isolated from pollen tubes growing in style segments of the dicotlyledon Rhododendron macgregoriae and the monocotyledon Gladiolus gandavensis by the in vivo/in vitro method at various stages of fertilization. Pollen tubes emerged from the cut end of the style into agar medium, and more than 95% contained sperm cells. Sperm cells were released from the pollen tubes by osmo...
متن کامل“Out of Pollen” Hypothesis for Origin of New Genes in Flowering Plants: Study from Arabidopsis thaliana
New genes, which provide material for evolutionary innovation, have been extensively studied for many years in animals where it is observed that they commonly show an expression bias for the testis. Thus, the testis is a major source for the generation of new genes in animals. The source tissue for new genes in plants is unclear. Here, we find that new genes in plants show a bias in expression ...
