Plants have been interacting with insects for several hundred million years, leading to
complex defense approaches against various insect feeding strategies. Some defenses are …

Under appropriate in vivo or in vitro conditions, certain somatic plant cells have the
capability to initiate embryogenic development (somatic embryogenesis). Somatic …

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

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 …

Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are transmembrane proteins with putative amino-terminal
extracellular domains and carboxyl-terminal intracellular kinase domains, with striking …

Plants are hosts to a wide array of pathogens from all kingdoms of life. In the absence of an
active immune system or combinatorial diversifications that lead to recombination-driven …

▪ Abstract Many aspects of Angiosperm pollen germination and tube growth are discussed
including mechanisms of dehydration and rehydration, in vitro germination, pollen coat …

The first somatic single cells of carrot hypocotyl explants having the competence to form
embryos in the presence of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) were identified using …

Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs) play essential roles in plant growth, development and
responses to environmental stresses. A putative RLK gene, OsSIK1, with extracellular …

In a previous review of male gametophyte development (McCormick, 1993), it was noted that
the two areas posed by Mascarenhas (1975) as fruitful areas for future research were the …
