The geography and botany problems of irreducible nonspin symplectic 4-manifolds with a choice of fundamental group from {Zp,Zp⊕Zq,Z,Z⊕Zp,Z⊕Z} are studied by building upon the recent progress obtained on the simply connected realm. Results on the botany of simply connected 4-manifolds not available in the literature are extended.

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...
