Growth of pollen tubes through the style tissue is a prerequisite for successful fertilization which guarantees high crop yields for human nutrition. Problems caused by global warming are already addressed in today’s research and the effects of drought stress on pollen function are studied. Several single molecule techniques are combined with omics approaches to reveal functional membrane protein complexes in the plasma membrane and their role in osmoregulation and polar growth.
