Passiflora pollen adhesion
... molecular genetics & cell biology at the University of Chicago. When a pollen grain of the right species lands on the pistil and comes into contact with a female stigma cell, a tight binding between the outer surface of the pollen grain-the exine-and the stigma cell occurs. After binding, the stigma cell causes the pollen grain to ...
