Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are required for pollen tube germination and elongation, an essential process in plant fertilization. But their role in monocot plants remains unexplored.

Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...

Double fertilization is a complex mechanism in flowering plants, wherein two sperm cells fuse with the embryo sac. To achieve this, pollens released from anthers must interact with the plant’s stigma, ...

(A) Pollen grains generated from the stamen pollinate at the tip of the pistil. Pollen tubes grow inside the pistil towards the ovule located in the placenta. (B) The pollen tubes are guided to the ...
