Abstract excerpt
Anther cuticle and pollen exine are two crucial lipid layers that ensure normal pollen development and pollen-stigma interaction for successful fertilization and seed production in plants. Their formation processes share certain common pathways of lipid biosynthesis and transport across four anther wall layers. However, molecular mechanism underlying a trade-off of lipid-metabolic products to promote the proper...
