Pollen tubes follow attractants secreted by the ovules. In a recent paper in BMC Plant Biology, Stewman and colleagues have quantified the parameters of this attraction and used them to calibrate a mathematical model that reproduces the process and enables predictions on the nature of the female attractant and the mechanisms of the male response.
花粉管会沿着胚珠分泌的引诱剂生长。在最近发表于《BMC植物生物学》的一篇论文中，斯图曼及其同事对这种吸引作用的参数进行了量化，并利用这些参数校准了一个数学模型，该模型再现了这一过程，并能够对雌性引诱剂的性质和雄性反应机制进行预测。
