Abstract: | Key message This study indicated that Ca 2+ , ROS and actin filaments were involved with CaM in regulating pollen tube growth and providing a potential way for overcoming pear self-incompatibility. Abstract Calmodulin (CaM) has been associated with various physiological and developmental processes in plants, including pollen tube growth. In this study, we showed that CaM regulated the pear pollen tube growth in a concentration-dependent bi-phasic response. Using a whole-cell patch-clamp configuration, we showed that apoplastic CaM induced a hyperpolarization-activated calcium ion (Ca2+) current, and anti-CaM largely inhibited this type of Ca2+ current. Moreover, upon anti-CaM treatment, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration decreased and actin filaments depolymerized in the pollen tube. Interestingly, CaM could partially rescue the inhibition of self-incompatible pear pollen tube growth. This phenotype could be mediated by CaM-enhanced pollen plasma membrane Ca2+ current, tip-localized ROS concentration and stabilized actin filaments. These data indicated that Ca2+, ROS and actin filaments were involved with CaM in regulating pollen tube growth and provide a potential way for overcoming pear self-incompatibility. |
