Energy can derive from internal and external storage sources. The lack of carbon sources can cause various problems during pollen tube growth, which in turn could affect the reproduction of plants %K Nicotiana tabacum %K pollen tube %K sucrose %K glycerol %K callose %K cellulose %K sucrose synthase %K cell wall %K tip growth %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6025209/
