GENETIC EXPLOSION IN POLLEN TUBE. “Thus, in contrast to the handful of gene expression changes during hydration, a very large number of gene expression changes occur when pollen tubes grow through pistil tissues. For example, over 1000 genes had significantly different expression in comparisons between semi-in vivo-grown pollen tubes and dry pollen, and a similar number after 4-h pollen tube growth; expression of a unique set of 383 pollen tube-expressed proteins present in pistil-interacted pollen tubes were identified.”
