In rice, high-temperature stress (HT) during flowering results in decreased grain yield via a reduction in spikelet fertility; however, the effect of plant water status on spikelet fertility under HT remains unknown.

Anther dehiscence in Lycopersicon esculentum [PDF]
summaryWater tracers have been used to demonstrate the continued functioning of the anther filament during dehiscence in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Since Lycopersicon possesses neither nectar nor nectaries dehiscence cannot be related to sugar secretion, as has been demonstrated for other plants.

bHLH142 regulates various metabolic pathway-related genes to affect pollen development and anther dehiscence in rice. [PDF]
Apposite development of anther and its dehiscence are important for the reproductive success of the flowering plants. Recently, bHLH142, a bHLH transcription factor encoding gene of rice has been found to show anther-specific expression and mutant ...

OAF is a DAF-like gene that controls ovule development in plants
We previously found that the RING-type E3 ligase DEFECTIVE IN ANTHER DEHISCENCE1- (DAD1-) Activating Factor (DAF) controls anther dehiscence by activating the jasmonate biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis.

THE PROCESSES OF ANTHER DEHISCENCE AND POLLEN DISPERSAL [PDF]
SummaryThe process of anther opening was followed in different species by means of light and electron microscopical techniques, stereo microscopical observation inside living tissues and micromanipulation. From these data and a review of the mainly very old literature on this subject, the opening process is outlined. It consists of the following stages:

Pollen is important not only for pollination and fertilization of plants, but also for colony development of bee pollinators. Anther dehiscence determines the available pollen that can be collected by foragers.

Is there 'anther-anther interference' within a flower? Evidences from one-by-one stamen movement in an insect-pollinated plant. [PDF]
The selective pressure imposed by maximizing male fitness (pollen dispersal) in shaping floral structures is increasingly recognized and emphasized in current plant sciences.

Studies on floral morphology, phenology and biology of wild melon revealed that the ratio of staminate and pistillate flowers was 3.40:1. The longevity of the male flowers were between 5 and 6 days, whereas, female flowers between 6 and 7 days. Anthesis

The essential roles of sugar metabolism for pollen development and male fertility in plants
Sugar metabolism plays an essential role in plant male reproduction. Defects in sugar metabolism during anther and pollen development often result in genic male sterility (GMS).

The effect of variations in media type and panicle length on the development of maize anther culture (Zea mays L. var. NK-212 and BISI-18) [PDF]
The development of maize anther culture is strongly influenced by genetic factors and in vitro media conditions. This study aimed to determine the effects of varieties (NK-212 and BISI-18) and Yu-pei media forms (solid, liquid, and solid–liquid) on ...
