Abstract
In flowering plants, two pairs of gametes participate in double fertilization. One of the two sperm delivered by the pollen tube (PT) fuses with the egg cell to form the zygote, whereas the second unites with the central cell to produce the endosperm [1]. Most animal species prevent polyspermy through a transient, fast block established by the depolarization of the egg membrane within milliseconds after encountering the first sperm, followed by a slow block generated through enzymatic changes in the extracellular matrix surrounding th
