|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0009860 | pollen tube growth | Growth of pollen via tip extension of the intine wall. | 586 |
| GO:0009846 | pollen germination | The physiological and developmental changes that occur in a heterosporous plant pollen grain, beginning with hydration and terminating with the emergence of the pollen tube through the aperture. | 142 |
| GO:0048868 | pollen tube development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a pollen tube over time, from its initial formation to a mature structure. | 103 |
| GO:0010183 | pollen tube guidance | The process in which the growth of pollen tube is directed towards the female gametophyte. | 19 |
| GO:0010483 | pollen tube reception | Interaction between the pollen tube, part of the male gametophyte, and the ovule, part of the female gametophyte, that results in the arrest of pollen tube growth, rupture of the pollen tube and the release of the sperm cells. | 15 |
| GO:0009875 | pollen-pistil interaction | The interaction between a pollen grain and pistil. | 5 |
| GO:0010198 | synergid death | Synergid cells undergo degeneration and death in response to penetration by the pollen tube. It is an active process that involves a dramatic decrease in cell volume, collapse of the vacuoles, and complete disintegration of the plasma membrane and most organelles. | 1 |
