Journal ArticleDOI
Protein synthesis in germinating pollen of Petunia: role of proline.
TL;DR: Pollen of Petunia hybrida was germinated in artificial medium and the endogenous free proline pool was found to be compartmentalized; one of the compartments is the protein precursor pool; its size is probably much less than 50% of the totalfree proline in the pollen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection of pollen germination from adverse temperatures: a possible role for proline
Zhang Hong-qi,Anton F. Croes +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the high proline concentrations found in pollen of many species may confer resistance to germinating pollen grains at unfavourable temperatures thereby enhancing the chances of successful fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proline metabolism in pollen: degradation of proline during germination and early tube growth.
Zhang Hong-qi,Anton F. Croes +1 more
TL;DR: Petunia pollen germinated in vitro was studied in cultures supplemented with [14C]proline labeled at different positions and showed no indications that proline carbon is used for feeding of other amino-acid pools used for protein synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative changes in protein synthesis in germinating pollen of Lilium longiflorum after a heat shock
TL;DR: Germination and protein synthesis of lily pollen subjected to a short heat shock after imbibition are strongly inhibited and proline effect correlates with the protection of pollen germination from high temperature by the amino acid.
