  • Title: The mating game: pollination and fertilization in flowering plants.
    Author: Wilhelmi LK, Preuss D.
    Journal: Curr Opin Plant Biol; 1999 Feb; 2(1):18-22. PubMed ID: 10047568.
    Abstract:
    Recent work has revealed signaling molecules that control pollination, including small peptides that mediate pollen recognition and glycoproteins that support pollen tube growth. The polarized growth of pollen tubes requires a calcium-mediated signal cascade, and cues derived from the haploid and diploid ovule cells guide pollen tubes to the eggs.
