Certain species of floral bacteria can enhance pollen germination, according to research led by researchers at the University of California. The study was published in the journal Current Biology. He ...

An interaction between aluminium (Al) and calcium (Ca) may be a cause of Al toxicity in plants. The pollen tube is a suitable system to test the interaction between Al and Ca since Ca ions play a ...

The molecular mechanism of pollen germination and pollen tube growth has been revealed in detail during the last decade, while the mechanism that suspends pollen grains in a dormant state is largely ...

Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are required for pollen tube germination and elongation, an essential process in plant fertilization. But their role in monocot plants remains unexplored.

Certain species of floral bacteria can enhance pollen germination, finds the first study documenting induction and stimulation of pollen germination by non-plants. Certain species of floral bacteria ...

Certain species of floral bacteria can enhance pollen germination, according to a study published today from the University of California, Davis in the journal Current Biology. Acinetobacter is a ...
