Pinus differs from Wolfia in formation of
a) Embryo in life cycle
b) Endosperm before fertilization
c) Pollen tube for transfer of male gametes
d) Ovules within ovary
Answers
Answer:
A pollen tube is a tubular structure produced by the male gametophyte of seed plants when it germinates. Pollen tube elongation is an integral stage in the plant life cycle. The pollen tube acts as a conduit to transport the male gamete cells from the pollen grain—either from the stigma (in flowering plants) to the ovules at the base of the pistil or directly through ovule tissue in some gymnosperms. In maize, this single cell can grow longer than 12 inches (30 cm) to traverse the length of the pistil.
Pollen tubes were first discovered by Giovanni Battista Amici in the 19th century.
They are used as a model for understanding plant cell behavior. Research is ongoing to comprehend how the pollen tube responds to extracellular guidance signals to achieve fertilization.
