cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

Control of the actin cytoskeleton within apical and subapical regions of pollen tubes

Y Xu, S Huang - Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 - frontiersin.org
In flowering plants, sexual reproduction involves a double fertilization event, which is
facilitated by the delivery of two non-motile sperm cells to the ovule by the pollen tube …

Arabidopsis class I formins control membrane-originated actin polymerization at pollen tube tips

Y Lan, X Liu, Y Fu, S Huang - PLoS Genetics, 2018 - journals.plos.org
