Abstract:
We developed two types of artificial platforms, T-junction and crossroad microchannel devices, and obtained guidance response ratio of pollen tubes to the female tissue as 56-57%. The crossroad device was also able to collect the attracted pollen tubes with high purity, which is useful for future omics analysis.
