Pollen tube the pollen tube responds to extracellular guidance signals to achieve fertilization. Pollen tubes are produced by the male gametophytes of seed plants. They act as conduits to transport the male gamete cells from the pollen grain—either from the stigma (in flowering plants) to the ovules at the base of the pistil or directly through ovule tissue in some gymnosperms.

Plants have separate structures such as microsporocytes and megasporocytes and the pollen grains are transported to the female gametophyte
