Likely selective advantages in the development of pollen presenters include greater accuracy in pollen transfer than in the normal anther to stigma movement and avoidance of interference between male and female organs in the flower. In some groups there is enhanced ability for female choice because ...
Where is a pollen tube? A pollen tube is a special structure that grows within the style from the pollen grain to the ovary of a flower. This structure is only found in angiosperms, or flowering plants. What is the function of the pollen tube? The main function of the pollen tube is ...

Cell biology of anther and pollen development The male part of the flower consists of stamens, each with a filament and an anther. Anthers and the other parts of the flower are derived from leaves: the... E Pacini,EG Williams,AE Clarke,... - Springer Netherlands 被引量: 61发表: 1994...
The function of MADS-box genes in flower and fruit development has been uncovered at a rapid pace over the past decade. Evolutionary biologists can now analyse the expression pattern of MADS-box genes during the development of different plant species, and study the homology of body parts and th...
We looked at whether flower visitation rates, pollen limitation on seed production, and phenotypic selection on flower size through female function varied across a sharp gradient in light intensity (open meadow vs. forest) within a population of the perennial plant Campanula persicifolia L.a(Campanu...
can be thought of as nonmotile sperm cells. After reaching an ovule and breaking out of the pollen tube tip, one generative nucleus unites with the egg cell to form a diploidzygote(i.e., a fertilized egg with two complete sets ofchromosomes, one from each parent). The zygote undergoes ...
Stamen, the male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of a long slender stalk and the pollen-producing anther. The number and arrangement of stamens, as well as the way in which the anthers release pollen, are important taxonomic characteristics for
Pollen grains contain one vegetative cell and two accompanying sperm cells. Transposable elements can be reactivated and transpose in the pollen vegetative cell but not in the sperm cells, which provide DNA to the fertilized zygote [203]. DNA in the pollen vegetative nucleus has reduced methylation...
