Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

In non-cleistogamous plants, the male gametophyte, the pollen grain is immotile and
exploits various agents, such as pollinators, wind, and even water, to arrive to a receptive …

Although recent studies suggest that the plant cytoskeleton is associated with plant stress
responses, such as salt, cold, and drought, the molecular mechanism underlying …

Tip growth is an extreme form of polarized cell expansion that occurs in all eukaryotic
kingdoms to generate highly elongated tubular cells with specialized functions, including …

The actin cytoskeleton is one of the targets of the pH gradient in tip-growing cells, but how
cytosolic pH regulates the actin cytoskeleton remains largely unknown. We here …

A population of dynamic apical actin filaments is required for rapid polarized pollen tube
growth. However, the cellular mechanisms driving their assembly remain incompletely …

Pollen germination is a process of polarity establishment, through which a single and unique
growth axis is established. Although most of the intracellular activities associated with pollen …

As the stimulus-responsive mediator of actin dynamics, actin-depolymerizing factor
(ADF)/cofilin is subject to tight regulation. It is well known that kinase-mediated …

Polarized tip growth is a fundamental cellular process in many eukaryotes. In this study, we
examined the dynamic restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton and its relationship to vesicle …

Annexins play pivotal roles in a variety of cellular processes as well as in fiber development;
however, the functional mechanisms of their activities are unclear. Here, an annexin gene …
