Proteomics Advances in the Understanding of Pollen–Pistil Interactions [PDF]
The first key point to the successful pollination and fertilization in plants is the pollen-pistil interaction, referring to the cellular and molecular levels, which mainly involve the haploid pollen and the diploid pistil.

RNA-Seq Highlights Molecular Events Associated With Impaired Pollen-Pistil Interactions Following Short-Term Heat Stress in Brassica napus [PDF]
The global climate change is leading to increased frequency of heatwaves with crops getting exposed to extreme temperature events. Such temperature spikes during the reproductive stage of plant development can harm crop fertility and productivity.

Signaling at Physical Barriers during Pollen-Pistil Interactions. [PDF]
In angiosperms, double fertilization requires pollen tubes to transport non-motile sperm to distant egg cells housed in a specialized female structure known as the pistil, mediating the ultimate fusion between male and female gametes. During this journey, the pollen tube encounters numerous physical barriers that must be mechanically circumvented ...

Global transcriptome dissection of pollen–pistil interactions induced self-incompatibility in dragon fruit (Selenicereus spp.) [PDF]
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a major issue in dragon fruit (Selenicereus spp.) breeding and production. Therefore, a better understanding of the dragon fruit SI mechanism is needed to improve breeding efficiency and ultimate production costs.

NADPH OXIDASE-DEPENDENT SUPEROXIDE PRODUCTION IN PLANT REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES [PDF]
In the life cycle of a flowering plant, the male gametophyte (pollen grain) produced in the anther reaches the stigmatic surface and initiates the pollen-pistil interaction, an important step in plant reproduction, which ultimately leads to the delivery ...

CrRLK1L receptor kinases-regulated pollen-pistil interactions
Mutual communications and precise recognitions between the male side pollen and female side pistil are crucial for successful fertilization. Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinases (CrRLK1Ls) participate in pleiotropic biological processes of plant ...

Evaluation of Different Procedures to Pollinate Self-Compatible ‘Royal Red’ Pitaya Under Protected Cultivation [PDF]
The growing interest in pitaya has led to an increase in its cultivation worldwide. Unfortunately, the production of pitaya often depends on expensive hand-pollination.

Pollen-pistil interactions and early fruiting in parthenocarpic citrus. [PDF]
An intense pollen-pistil interaction precedes fertilization. This interaction is of particular relevance in agronomically important species where seeds or fruits are the edible part. Over time some agronomically species have been selected for the ability to produce fruit without seeds. While this phenomenon is critical for commercial production in some
