Study on the molecular mechanism of the growth mode transformation from tubular growth to blebbing growth caused by overexpression of the Tomato Pollen Receptor Kinase LePRK1

The tubular growth of a pollen tube cell is crucial for sexual reproduction of flowering plants. Recently, a group led by Dr. TANG Weihua, from Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology (SIPPE), Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBS),CAS,presents the evidence that overwxpres-sion of LePRK1 or LePRK1△ECD rewiews pollen tube growth to a blebbing mode,
