Growth of pollen tube towards the ovule.
Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Nagoya University
12 Nov 2016
Plant biologists at ITbM have made a key discovery that the contents in pollen tubes alone can increase the size of seeds, without the need for fertilization. This finding may be useful in developing crops, which can develop seeds under unfavorable environmental conditions where fertilization does not readily occur.
