(2013). surrounding fertilization resemble that process? The transmitting tract-specific arabinogalactan glycoproteins TTS1 and TTS2 have a positive effect on in vitro grown tobacco pollen and show a gradient of increased glycosylation correlating with pollen tube growth direction inside the transmitting tract (Cheung et al., 1995; Wu et al., 1995). In mammals, CD9-like membrane spanning proteins of the tetraspanin family are located at the plasma membrane of eggs and were shown to be required for gamete fusion (Kaji et al., 2000; Le Naour et al., 2000; Miyado et al., 2000). In grasses the ovary contains a single ovule and the pollen tube is directly guided toward its surface after leaving the blind ending transmitting tract. In May 2023, Frontiers adopted a new reporting platform to be Counter 5 compliant, in line with industry standards. U.S.A. 94, 65596564.

Both gametophytes are reduced to only a few cells. Transcribed image text: Which plants require water for fertilization? Biol. The pollen tube carrying the male gametes grows towards archegonia in the ovules and discharge their contents . Hence pollen tubes maturate during their growth through the sporophytic tissue and thereby become competent for fertilization (Leydon et al., 2013, 2014). Ann. (A) Dissected and reconstructed Arabidopsis flower. 18, 607613. The egg cell appears to require activation itself and calcium may play a key role in this process; this is indicated by a single strong Ca2+cyto transient in the egg cell associated with pollen tube burst and sperm delivery (Denninger et al., 2014), which thus precedes EC1 secretion. Grass group I allergens (beta-expansins) are novel, papain-related proteinases. doi: 10.1038/73502, Kanaoka, M. M., Kawano, N., Matsubara, Y., Susaki, D., Okuda, S., Sasaki, N., et al. After arrival at the surface of the ovule, the pollen tube reaches the last phase of its journey, which is known as micropylar pollen tube guidance.

Among other genes, MYB98 regulates the expression of genes encoding cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs), including those representing a subgroup of defensin-like (DEFL) polypeptides (Punwani et al., 2008; Takeuchi and Higashiyama, 2012). doi: 10.1038/nature13203, Boavida, L. C., Qin, P., Broz, M., Becker, J. D., and McCormick, S. (2013). Some of these proteins are highly polymorphic and species-specific, allowing female flower organs to discriminate self from alien pollen grains/pollen tubes to avoid reproductive failure after pollination and fertilization with incompatible gametophytes and gametes, respectively.

A., Chong, Y. T., Haasen, K. E., Aldea-Brydges, M. G., Stone, S. L., and Goring, D. R. (2009). Curr. Initially, papilla cells export Ca2+cyto by the auto-inhibited Ca2+-ATPase13 (ACA13) at the pollen grain adhesion site (Iwano et al., 2004, 2014). The growth direction of the pollen tube is regulated by the formation of different gradients including water, -amino butyric acid (GABA), calcium and other small molecules such as D-serine. Female germ unit: organization, isolation, and function. In Arabidopsis usually only a single pollen tube is guided inside the ovule to execute double fertilization. (2014). Its artificial activation results in premature synergid cell disintegration and thus a block to pollen tube attraction (Vlz et al., 2013). Unknown egg and central cell-specific fusogenic proteins as well as EC1 receptor are indicated by question marks in green, black, and purple, respectively. 17, 11011108. Both female gametes need to be fertilized to produce viable progeny. (2012). Female components, which are directly involved in gamete fusion are so far unknown in higher plants. Explain the water to land transition in plants with respect to challenges overcome related to water requirements for fertilization to occur and vascular tissue. 88, 519535. The presence of a calmodulin-binding domain in NTA supports the idea of a Ca2+-dependent signaling network, which is activated upon pollen tube arrival. Mosses and ferns require water for ferti . Calcium may play a role in immediate signaling of successful plasmogamy and release of cell wall material as an extended Ca2+cyto transient is observed in the egg cell associated with successful gamete fusion (Denninger et al., 2014). gex2 mutant sperm cells show reduced adhesion to female gametes, likely causing cell fusion failure (Mori et al., 2014). Plant Signal. Plant Cell Physiol. In Arabidopsis this process was shown to be tightly regulated and usually only a single pollen tube exits the transmitting tract in proximity of an unfertilized ovule. 38, 631634. 234, 690694.

Maize was suggested as a grass and crop model to investigate these processes (Dresselhaus et al., 2011), but transformation difficulties, the low number of available insertion mutants, the requirement of sufficient greenhouse space and especially technical problems to visualize the fertilization process in vivo still limit its utilization for reproduction biologists. Its activation is closely related to seed development as both parthenogenetic embryogenesis and seed development arrest at an early stage without central cell fertilization (Koltunow and Grossniklaus, 2003; Barcaccia and Albertini, 2013).

Why gymnosperms do not require water for fertilization? In Zea mays, EGG APPARATUS1 (ZmEA1), a small hydrophobic precursor protein of 94 aa was reported as an egg apparatus-specific protein required for micropylar pollen tube guidance (Mrton et al., 2005, 2012). Vegetative reproduction takes place by the formation of bulbils or adventitious buds which develop on the stem in the axil of the scale leaves e.g., Cycas. The synergid cell, which is in contact with the pollen tube follows a regulated cell death program that is somehow associated and controlled by pollen tube burst and linked to oscillation of Ca2+cyto level (Higashiyama et al., 2000; Sandaklie-Nikolova et al., 2007; Denninger et al., 2014; Ngo et al., 2014).

N., and Koltunow, A. M. G. (2011). MAA3 (MAGATAMA3) helicase gene is required for female gametophyte development and pollen tube guidance in Arabidopsis thaliana. It can be dissected into three parts. The launch of seed development in flowering plants (angiosperms) is initiated by the process of double fertilization: two male gametes (sperm cells) fuse with two female gametes (egg and central cell) to form the precursor cells of the two major seed components, the embryo and endosperm, respectively. Recently, de novo expression of closely related MYB transcription factors and other genes were reported to be induced during pollen tube growth through the style regulating themselves a number of downstream genes.

Why don't angiosperms need water for fertilization? After adhesion and hydration, compatible pollen germinates, penetrates the style and grows through the extracellular space of stylar cells toward the transmitting tract (Figure 1B).

Ca2+ influx into the pollen tube tip region is known to be essential for germination and tube growth (Brewbaker and Kwack, 1963; for a review see Steinhorst and Kudla, 2013a) and leads to the generation of an oscillating apex-based cytoplasmic Ca2+ (Ca2+cyto) gradient (Miller et al., 1992; Calder et al., 1997).

Besides changes in the pH, RALF also induces the increase of Ca2+cyto (Pearce et al., 2001; Haruta and Constabel, 2003; Haruta et al., 2008) and thus may influence pollen tube growth arrest and eventually its burst.
