Abstract
Professor Panchanan Maheshwari served as Professor and Head of the Department of Botany, University of Delhi, from 1950 to 1966 and built an internationally reputed School of integrated plant embryology. Studies carried out during and after Maheshwari's period from this School have enormously advanced our knowledge of the structural, developmental and functional aspects of embryological processes. This review covers studies carried out at the Delhi School on the developmental biology of dispersed pollen grains which operate from pollen dispersal from the anthers until pollen tubes discharge the male gametes in the embryo sac for fertilization. These events include pollen viability and vigour, pollen germination and pollen tube growth, structural details of the pistil relevant to pollen function, pollination and pollen-pistil interaction.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Developmental Biology (ISSN: 0214-
6282) is an independent, not for profit scholarly journal, published by
scientists, for scientists. The journal publishes papers which throw
light on our understanding of animal and plant developmental mechanisms in health and disease and, in particular, research which elucidates the developmental principles underlying stem cell properties
and cancer. Technical, historical or theoretical approaches also fall
within the scope of the journal. Criteria for acceptance include scientific excellence, novelty and quality of presentation of data and illustrations. Advantages of publishing in the journal include: rapid
publication; free unlimited color reproduction; no page charges; free
publication of online supplementary material; free publication of audio
files (MP3 type); one-to-one personalized attention at all stages
during the editorial process. An easy online submission facility and an
open online access option, by means of which papers can be published without any access restrictions. In keeping with its mission, the
journal offers free online subscriptions to academic institutions in
developing countries.
