title: The role of peroxidases in pistil-pollen interactions.
abstract: The majority of pistil peroxidases are involved in processes related to growth, development and senescence. Only the tissue specific peroxidases in the transmitting tissue of the style may play a direct role in the regulation of pollen tube growth. The pollen peroxidases may function mainly in growth regulation and tube wall formation and play a role in the interaction between pollen and pistil by metabolizing the phenolic compounds in the pistil.
