Gamete attachment requires GEX2 for successful fertilization in Arabidopsis.

Current biology : CB - 20 Jan 2014

Mori Toshiyuki, Igawa Tomoko, Tamiya Gen, Miyagishima Shin-Ya, Berger Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization requires recognition, attachment, and membrane fusion between gametes. In metazoans, rapidly evolving surface proteins contribute to gamete recognition and adhesion. Flowering plants evolved a double fertilization process wherein two immotile sperm cells are delivered to female gametes by the pollen tube, guided by elaborate communications between male and female reproductive organs. Once released,...
