abstract = "Pollen grains play a critical role in the pollination of flowering plants. After landing on the stigma of the flower, pollen grains develop a long tube that grows through the style (Fig. 1A-B) toward the ovary, where the pollen tube releases the sperm cells and fertilize the ovules. Here we use micropatterned agarose mazes as a 3D in-vitro model of the flower pistil to study the interaction of growing pollen tubes with their environment.",
