In animals, PIEZOs are plasma membrane–localized cation channels involved in diverse
mechanosensory processes. We investigated PIEZO function in tip-growing cells in the moss …

Human inhabitation of S pace requires the efficient realisation of crop cultivation in
bioregenerative life‐support systems (BLSS). It is well known that plants can grow under S …

The pollen tube is a cellular protuberance formed by the pollen grain, or male gametophyte,
in flowering plants. Its principal metabolic activity is the synthesis and assembly of cell wall …

The pollen tube is an extension of the male gametophyte in plants and mediates sexual
reproduction by delivering the sperm cells to the female gametophyte. To accomplish this …

Pollen tubes are among the fastest tip-growing plant cells and represent an excellent
experimental system for studying the dynamics and spatiotemporal control of polarized cell …

The polar growth process characterizing pollen tube elongation has attracted numerous
modeling attempts over the past years. While initial models focused on recreating the correct …

During plant sexual reproduction, pollen germination and tube growth require development
under tight spatial and temporal control for the proper delivery of the sperm cells to the …

In addition to its importance in studies of plant reproduction and fertility, pollen is as widely
employed as a model system of cell growth and development. This work demands robust …

Tip-growing cells have the unique property of invading living tissues and abiotic growth
matrices. To do so, they exert significant penetrative forces. In plant and fungal cells, these …

Paeonia ostii is an important woody oil crop mainly cross-pollinated. However, the low yield
has become an important factor restricting the industrial development of P. ostii. Cross …
