| Abstract: | The effect of phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathway on lily (Lilium davidii Duch.) pollen tube elongation was examined by means of microinjection. Pollen tube elongation was inhibited by microinjecting antibodies against animal PLCβ1-3 or inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptor （IP3R2, 3）, but was not affected by antibodies against animal PLCβ4 or IP3R1. Pollen tube elongation was also stimulated significantly by microinjecting IP3. The results suggest that PLC-IP3 signaling pathway might present in pollen system and be involved in pollen tube growth. |
