Pollen tubes enter neighbouring ovules

An unusual route for pollen tube growth is described by Wang et al. (pp. 791-796) in Sagittaria potamogetifolia, a monoecious species with an apocarpous gynoecium. The mechanism is shown to increase fruit set, and this partially offsets the proportion of unpollinated stigmas in gynoecia of pistillate flowers.
