Abstract

Certain aspects of apple pollination biology have received significant attention in the literature due to direct impacts on orchard productivity, such as incompatibility and floral longevity. Until recently, studies of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms of pollen tube growth were limited to model plant species, such as Arapidopsis, Lilium, and Nicotania. This review is focused on recent discoveries in pollen tube growth of apple.
