Description:
Exocytosis-coordinated mechanisms for tip growth underlie pollen tube growth guidance Exocytosis-coordinated mechanisms for tip growth underlie pollen tube growth guidance, Published online: 22 November 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-01452-0 Tip-growing cells can find their growing path toward the source of attractive signals. Here, using experimental data and mathematical modeling, Luo et al. demonstrate that tip-localized exocytosis can integrate guidance cues with Rho GTPase signaling to control cell wall mechanics and direct tip growth in Arabidopsis pollen tubes.
