The multi-user equipment requested here is composed by an extracellular ion-fluxes measuring system (SIET - Scanning Ion Selective Electrode Technique) coupled with an inverted fluorescence microscope. Thus, the equipment is capable of measuring extracellular fluxes of diverse ions while acquires fluorescent or bright field images, enabling the monitoring of intracellular ion concentratio…
Ionic regulation is central for cell development in all biological systems, with pollen tubes being an outstanding model for cell polarity and directional growth. Sperm cell delivery to the ovule relies on their fast growth and sensitivity to external guidance cues, as to target the ovule. Pollen tubes grow exclusively at the apex, which is thought to be sustained by tip-focused ion gradi…
