Defensin-like polypeptide LUREs are pollen tube attractants secreted from synergid cells

TL;DR: It is reported that secreted, cysteine-rich polypeptides (CRPs) in a subgroup of defensin-like proteins are attractants derived from the synergid cells of T. fournieri, and they showed activity in vitro to attract competent pollen tubes of their own species and were named as LUREs.
