High precision, localized proton gradients and fluxes generated by a microelectrode device induce differential growth behaviors of pollen tubes
Pollen tubes are tip-growing plant cells that deliver the sperm cells to the ovules for double
fertilization of the egg cell and the endosperm. Various directional cues can trigger the …
