This book, which is adapted to a one-semester course, presents the subject of botany to the beginning student in an interest-compelling manner. Instead of giving too many facts regarding the various topics at the outset the student's curiosity is first stimulated by simple questions and problems and later a more complete discussion is given. The emphasis throughout the book is on function rathe...

Germinated pollen grains form pollen tubes that accomplish rapid polarized growth within female gametophytic tissues in order to deliver the sperm cell to the ovule. This process is essential for successful plant fertilization in vivo. Pollen tubes are considered to be an ideal model system to study tip growth. A more comprehensive understanding of proteins involved in pollen development, germi...

BACKGROUND Annals of Botany is a peer-reviewed plant biology journal. It was started in 1887, making it the oldest continuously published plant science title. A previous article [Jackson MB. 2015. One hundred and twenty-five years of the Annals of Botany Part 1: the first 50 years (1887-1936). Annals of Botany 115: : 1-18] summarized events leading to its founding, highlighted the individuals i...
