摘要
Microtubules tightly cross-linked into bundles are described in the sperm cells of Brassica oleracea pollen tubes. The sperm cells are lobed and "tailed" and the microtubule bundles are often located in these parts of the cells. In the present paper we suggest that the cross-linked microtubule organization could determine an intertubular sliding, probably generating a motility system that propels the sperm cells through the tube. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
