A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a pollen tube over time, from its initial formation to a mature structure. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of pollen tube growth. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one [spatial] dimension or along one axis, resulting in the morphogenesis of the cell. Growth that occurs specifically at the tip of a cell. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs when relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Growth of pollen via tip extension of the intine wall. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size over time by accretion and biosynthetic production of matter similar to that already present. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tube over time, from its initial formation to a mature structure. Epithelial and endothelial tubes transport gases, liquids and cells from one site to another and form the basic structure of many organs and tissues including lung and trachea, kidney, the mammary gland, the vascular system and the gastrointestinal and urinary-genital tracts. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The cascade of biological processes occurring in plants beginning when the pollen lands on the stigma and continuing up to, but not including, fertilization, as defined by sperm-central cell fusion.
