Pollen tube guidance is the mechanism whereby the direction of pollen tube growth is controlled by female cells of the pistil. Some key genes and molecules have recently been identified as being involved in pollen tube guidance. In this review article, we discuss the molecular basis of pollen tube guidance, especially in Arabidopsis thaliana, by summarizing recent progress in various plant species. Attractant molecules and receptors for gametophytic pollen tube guidance are the focus of this article.
花粉管导向是指花粉管生长的方向由雌蕊细胞控制的机制。最近已经确定了一些关键基因和分子参与花粉管导向。在这篇综述文章中，我们通过总结各种植物物种的最新进展，讨论了花粉管导向的分子基础，特别是在拟南芥中的分子基础。本文的重点是配子体花粉管导向的吸引分子和受体。
