摘要
The effects of calmodulin (CaM) antagonist W7-agarose, anti-CaM serum and exogenous Purified CaM on pollen germination and tube growth of Forsythia suspensa were studied. The pollen germination and tube growth were inhibited or completely stopped by CaM antagonist W7-agarose. The addition of exogenous purified CaM stimulated pollen germination and tube growth, whereas the same amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) had no effect. The inhibitory effects caused by W7-agarose and anti-CaM serum could be reversed completely by the addition of exogenous purified CaM. The tube growth of germinated pollen was also inhibited or completely stopped by W7-agarose. The results suggest that Endogenous extracellular CaM initiates pollen germination and tube growth, whereas exogenous CaM enhances the above processes.
