Polymorphism and structure of style–specific arabinogalactan proteins as determinants of pollen tube growth in Nicotiana

Abstract Background Pollen tube growth and fertilization are key processes in angiosperm sexual reproduction. The transmitting tract (TT) of Nicotiana tabacum controls pollen tube growth in part by secreting pistil extensin-like protein III (PELPIII), transmitting-tract-specific (TTS) protein and 12...
