Key message Overview of pollen transcriptome studies. Pollen development is driven by
gene expression, and knowledge of the molecular events underlying this process has …

Efforts in hybrid breeding have made this technology one of the main factors contributing to
the substantial global rise in agricultural output over the last few decades. For hybrid …

The plant WRKY gene family represents an ancient and complex class of zinc-finger
transcription factors (TFs) that are involved in the regulation of various physiological …

Plant male gametogenesis involves complex and dynamic changes in gene expression. At
present, little is known about the transcription factors involved in this process and how their …

WRKY transcription factors regulate diverse biological processes in plants, including abiotic
and biotic stress responses, and constitute one of the largest transcription factor families in …

Mature pollen is very sensitive to cold stress in chilling-sensitive plants. Plant WRKY DNA-
binding transcription factors are key regulators in plant responses to abiotic and biotic …

Plant male gametogenesis is tightly regulated, and involves complex and precise
regulations of transcriptional reprogramming. WRKY transcription factors have been …

The unique double fertilisation mechanism in flowering plants depends upon a pair of
functional sperm cells. During male gametogenesis, each haploid microspore undergoes an …

Silencing of transposable elements (TEs) drives the evolution of numerous redundant
mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. Arabidopsis MBD5, MBD6, and SILENZIO act as …
