The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Flowering Process of Vitis vinifera: A Review (2009, methodology): “The growth rate of the tube is temperature sensitive (Staudt 1982) and ceases after 18 to 24 hr, suggesting that the average temperature immediately postpollination will determine whether a f lower will be fertilized.”
From anther and pollen ripening to pollen presentation (2000, unknown): “travel inside it (Heslop-Harrison 1987).”
The local cytomechanical properties of growing pollen tubes correspond to the axial distribution of structural cellular elements (2004, background): “The outer fibrillar layer of the pollen tube cell wall is present in distal and apical regions and contains mostly pectins (Heslop-Harrison 1987).”
Partially hydrated pollen: taxonomic distribution, ecological and evolutionary significance (2002, unknown): “Adhesion of pollen to the stigma may occur because the pollen is coated with pollenkitt (Lavatera arborea) and/or because the stigma is covered in exudate, or because the two surfaces have opposite electrostatic charges (Gramineae) (Heslop-Harrison 1987).”
Mechanical Principles Governing Pollen Tube Growth (2007, background): “Several cell wall components are likely to be responsible for this mechanical gradient in the pollen tube cell wall due to their non-uniform distribution (Heslop-Harrison 1987; Ferguson et al. 1998; Fig.”
