Since Darwinian times considerable knowledge has accumulated on the distribution,
physiology and genetics of self-incompatibility (SI) in higher plants. In the second half of this …

Many flowering plants reproduce sexually and generate variation by the process of
recombination. Because the possibility of continued evolution is dependent, at least in part …

Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of
pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the …

During angiosperm reproduction, pollen grains form a tube that navigates through female
tissues to the micropyle, delivering sperm to the egg; the signals that mediate this process …

THE protein kinase family of enzymes mediates the responses of eukaryotic cells to both
inter-and intracellular signals1, 2. These enzymes are either serine/threonine-specific or …

This book takes a uniquely integrated approach to the study of floral biology. Flowers are the
beautiful and complex reproductive structures of the angiosperms, one of the most diverse …

The author offers an overview of pollen biology and biotechnology for students and
researchers in areas such as reproductive biology, biotechnology, aeropalynology, plant …

As a starting point for a phylogenetic study of self-incompatibility (SI) in crucifers and to
elucidate the genetic basis of transitions between outcrossing and self-fertilizing mating …

Screening of a yeast two-hybrid library for proteins that interact with the kinase domain of an
S-locus receptor kinase (SRK) resulted in the isolation of a plant protein called ARC1 (A rm …

The self-incompatibility response in Brassica allows recognition and rejection of self-pollen
by the stigmatic papillae. The transmembrane S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), a member of …
