Abstract

During the double fertilization process of flowering plants (angiosperms), pollen tubes transport a pair of immobile sperm cells towards and inside the embryo sac for fusion with egg and central cell, respectively. Male-female gamete interactions during fertilization are critical for reproductive success and seed development, and thus have interested biologists since decades. Compared to animals, little is known about gamete interaction mechanisms in angiosperms. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
