Pollen plays an essential role in plant fertility by delivering the male gametes to the embryo sac before double fertilization. In several plant species, including Arabidopsis, C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factors (TFs) have been involved in ...

The impact of heat stress in plant reproduction
The increment in global temperature reduces crop productivity, which in turn threatens food security. Currently, most of our food supply is produced by plants and the human population is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050.

Callose Deposition during Pollen Development [PDF]
Callose is a cell wall component that is dynamically deposited and degraded during pollen development. Thanks to a new article investigating pollen formation in cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ), we now know that a pollen-specific protein regulates callose deposition by inhibiting the action of ...

Divisions of labor in the thiamin biosynthetic pathway among organs of maize
The B vitamin thiamin is essential for central metabolism in all cellular organisms including plants. While plants synthesize thiamin de novo, organs vary widely in their capacities for thiamin synthesis. We use a transcriptomics approach to appraise the

Pollen Development and Stainability in Vicia faba L. and Lupinus angustifolius L.
Commercially, leguminous crops (Fabaceae) are the second most important group of cultivated plants, just after grasses (Poaceae). This study focuses on the analysis of pollen development and stainability in two species belonging to the Fabaceae family ...

Hormonome Dynamics During Microgametogenesis in Different Nicotiana Species
Plant microgametogenesis involves stages leading to the progressive development of unicellular microspores into mature pollen. Despite the active and continuing interest in the study of male reproductive development, little is still known about the ...

Rice Immature Pollen 1 (RIP1) is a Regulator of Late Pollen Development [PDF]
We isolated a pollen-preferential gene, RICE IMMATURE POLLEN 1 (RIP1), from a T-DNA insertional population of japonica rice that was trapped by a promoterless beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) analyses confirmed that the RIP1 transcript was abundant at the late stages of pollen development.
