This project investigates the mechanisms of cell-cell communication in plant reproduction, focusing on how pollen tubes are recognized by female gametophytes. It aims to manipulate the expression of a specific gene to understand its role in species-specific pollen tube recognition, which is crucial for plant breeding.
Cell-cell interaction mechanisms play a role in many fundamental biological processes from symbiotic interactions of fungi and bacteria with their host plants to fertilization both in animals and plants.
In plant reproduction, pollen tube (PT) reception is a cell-cell communication process allowing the recognition of the male gametophyte (the PT) by the female gametophyte necessary for fertilization.
To investigate this process, the host lab used interspecific crosses between certain Arabidopsis…
