The delivery of sperm cells via tip-growing pollen tubes is an innovation of seed plants and shows the importance of pollen tubes for reproduction and their specific growth kinetics. Fast-growing pollen tubes demand an extensive and dynamic vesicular trafficking network to build new cell membrane and wall, to deliver proteins among endomembrane compartments, and also to respond to external stimuli for growth adjustment. In this review, we summarize current findings on endomembrane compartments and vesicular trafficking routes of pollen tubes, comparing and contrasting their features with those of most somatic cells. We discuss the importance of membrane homeostasis, either at the plasma membrane (PM) or between PM-targeted trafficking and vacuolar trafficking, for pollen tube growth. We also provide perspectives to facilitate future studies of vesicular trafficking in pollen tubes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012639 Seeds The encapsulated embryos of flowering plants. They are used as is or for animal feed because of the high content of concentrated nutrients like starches, proteins, and fats.
