The authors demonstrate that lipids are essential for pollen tube penetration of the pistil and show that, in the presence of lipids, pollen tubes can penetrate leaf tissue. They propose that the flow of water is a crucial factor in directing pollen tube growth.

A more detailed account of the importance of water supply in determining pollen tube guidance. The paper provides contentious evidence that chemical gradients are unlikely to be important in determining the directional growth of pollen tubes.

This novel approach, using a fluorescently tagged PKC probe, BODIPY FL bisindolelylmalemide to locate PKC-like activity, demonstrates that changes in location of a protein kinase C-like enzyme accompanies alterations in orientation of pollen tubes.

The finding that addition of profilin to cytosolic extracts alters several protein kinase activities provides the first evidence that plant profilin may modulate protein phosphorylation. This implicates a functional signaling role for profilin in plant cells.

Rop, a pollen-specific Rho-like GTPase, when overexpressed in yeast, causes morphological abnormalities. This provides evidence that Rop is important in the regulation of polar growth.

Rac homologues and compartmentalized phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate act in a common pathway to regulate polar pollen tube growth. J Cell Biol. 145:1999;317-330. Several lines of evidence suggest that Rac homologues play a role in controlling the polarity of pollen tube growth. Rac is associated with components of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway and may act in the same pathway to control polarized pollen tube growth.
