Abstract
Abstract:Recent observations of pollen tubes show that these tubes may grow in a pulsatory fashion (Pierson et al., 1995; Plyushch et al., 1995; Li et al., 1996; Geitmann et al., 1996a, 1996b), in which phases of fast and slow growth alternate regularly. The occurrence of pulsatory growth has been used by Geitmann and coworkers (1996b) to study factors that might control growth. Their results emphasize the role of the cell wall and secretory events in regulating pollen tube growth. Here we will briefly review recent results related to the role of exocytosis, cytoskeleton, calcium and the cell wall in pollen tube growth.
