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. Pollen tubes were first discovered by Giovanni Battista Amici. Pollen tube formation is important for sexual reproduction to occur in seed plants. Plants have separate structures such as microsporocytes and megasporocytes and the pollen grains are transported to the female gametophyte
Development of Spore survive in a strange world, with elements of "Nintendogs". The mobile phone version of "Spore", called "Spore Origins", was based on the tide pool phase, in which players try to survive as a multicellular organism, with gameplay similar to "flOw". On March 6, 2008, an iPhone version was demonstrated at Apple's iPhone SDK press event, though there was no commitment to ship such a product given at that event. The iPhone-Spore demo made use of the device's touch capabilities and 3-axis accelerometer. Electronic Arts confirmed on March 31, 2008 that "Spore" would be receiving post-release expansion packs.
