Homogalacturonan (HG) is the most abundant pectin subtype in plant cell walls. Although it
is a linear homopolymer, its modification states allow for complex molecular encoding. HG …

Summary Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs), which constitute the largest receptor family in
plants, are essential for perceiving and relaying information about various environmental …

Flowering plants have evolved numerous intraspecific and interspecific prezygotic
reproductive barriers to prevent production of unfavourable offspring. Within a species, self …

Fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm (polyspermy) leads to lethal genome imbalance
and chromosome segregation defects. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the block to polyspermy is …

Precise signalling between pollen tubes and synergid cells in the ovule initiates fertilization
in flowering plants. Contact of the pollen tube with the ovule triggers calcium spiking in the …

Pollen-pistil interactions establish interspecific/intergeneric pre-zygotic hybridization barriers
in plants. The rejection of undesired pollen at the stigma is crucial to avoid outcrossing but …

Most plants in the Brassicaceae evolve self-incompatibility (SI) to avoid inbreeding and
generate hybrid vigor. Self-pollen is recognized by the S-haplotype-specific interaction of the …

Spatial partitioning is a propensity of biological systems orchestrating cell activities in space
and time. The dynamic regulation of plasma membrane nano-environments has recently …

Plant peptide hormones are important players that control various aspects of the lives of
plants. RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF) peptides have recently emerged as …

Cells maintain a constant dialog between the extracellular matrix and their plasma
membrane to fine tune signal transduction processes. We found that the receptor kinase …
