Abstract

The pollen tube is a cellular system that plays a fundamental role during the process of fertilization in higher plants. Because it is so important, the pollen tube has been subjected to intensive studies with the aim of understanding its biology. The pollen tube represents a fascinating model for studying interactions between the internal cytoskeletal machinery, the membrane system, and the cell wall. These compartments, often studied as independent units, show several molecular interactions and can influence the structure and organization of each other. The way the cell wall is constructed, the dynamics of the endomembrane system, and functions of the cytoskeleton suggest that these compartments are a molecular “continuum,” which represents a link between the extracellular environment and the pollen tube cytoplasm. Several experimental approaches have been used to understand how these interactions may translate the pollen-pistil interactions into differential processes of pollen tube growth.
