This project investigates the molecular mechanisms of fertilization in plants, focusing on the interaction between male and female gametophytes. It aims to identify key proteins involved in sperm cell discharge, which could aid in hybrid plant breeding.
Fertilization relies on complex and specialized mechanisms that achieve the precise delivery of the male gamete to the female gamete and their subsequent union.
In plants, the molecular mechanisms that mediate the discharge of sperm cells by the male gametophyte (pollen tube) into the female gametophyte are still a mystery although they are of great interest for the manipulation of breeding barriers in wide-crosses and the production of hybrids.
Recently, it was shown that a molecular dialogue b…
