Identification and characterization of TcCRP1 a pollen tube attractant from Torenia concolor

摘要

Background and AimsDuring sexual reproduction in higher angiosperms, the pollen tubes are directed to the ovules in the pistil to deliver sperm cells. This pollen tube attraction is highly species specific, and a group of small secreted proteins, TfCRPs, are necessary for this process in Torenia fournieri.
