DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2021.03.015
Abstract: The pollen tube grows inside the pistil, carrying male gametes to the ovule. During this journey, it invades diverse tissues, sensing and adapting to abrupt transitions in mechanical environment. In this issue of Developmental Cell,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12870-020-02741-5
Abstract: Background Pistil development is a complicated process in plants, and female sterile mutants are ideal material for screening and cloning pistil development-related genes. Using the female sterile mutant ( fsm1 ), BraA04g009730.3C was previously predicted… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1022684
Abstract: Successful fertilization of a flowering plant requires tightly controlled cell-to-cell communication between the male pollen grain and the female pistil. Throughout Arabidopsis pollen-pistil interactions, ligand-receptor kinase signaling is utilized to mediate various checkpoints to promote… read more here.
