Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

The gametophyte represents the sexual phase in the alternation of generations in plants; the
other, nonsexual phase is the sporophyte. Here, we review the evolutionary origins of the …

Historically, extended droughts combined with heat waves caused severe reductions in crop
yields estimated at billions of dollars annually. Because global warming and climate change …

Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has gained considerable attention worldwide
during the past decade due to its nutritional and health benefits. However, its susceptibility to …

Plant male gametogenesis is tightly regulated, and involves complex and precise

In angiosperms, mature pollen is wrapped by a pollen wall, which is important for
maintaining pollen structure and function. Pollen walls provide protection from various …

Pollen tube guidance in flowering plants is a unique and critical process for successful
sexual reproduction. The pollen tube that grows from pollen, which is the male gametophyte …

Key message Pollen development metabolomics. Abstract Developing pollen is among the
plant structures most sensitive to high temperatures, and a decrease in pollen viability is …

Heat stress has a deleterious effect on male fertility in rice (Oryza sativa), but mechanisms to
protect against heat stress in rice male gametophytes are poorly understood. Here, we have …
