Abstract
The progamic phase, the period of pollen tube growth through the pistil, is a period of specific interactions between the male gametophyte and the pis til. Understanding of pollen germination and pollen tube growth are relevan t for the study of pollen-pistil interactions and for understanding the fun ction of components specifically accumulated in the transmitting tissue cel l walls and intercellular matrix that may interact with pollen tubes.
