(a) A pollen grain containing the two sperm cells. It produces a pollen tube, which arrives at the ovule. After the arrival, one of the synergid cells degenerates and the pollen tube bursts to ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Ryushiro Kasahara at Nagoya University in Japan, identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is ...

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 ...

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.

A fertilized egg of an animal can be easily removed, and the process of cell division can be observed alive. However, a fertilized egg of a plant cannot be removed and observed alive since it lies ...
