## Abstract Plant reproduction is vital for species survival, and is also central to the production of food for human consumption. Seeds result from the successful fertilization of male and female gametes, but our understanding of the development, differentiation of gamete lineages and fertilizatio
Self-pollination in some groups of plants is prevented by a sophisticated biochemical signalling system. The molecule active in the female emerges as a highly charged glycoprotein, but the identity of the male determinant remains unknown. Studies of both the molecular biology and the physiology of t
Within wildβtype __Arabidopsis__ populations, a subset of the plants were found to have a single chimeric shoot on their primary shoot axes. The chimeric shoots were located below the lowest primaryβaxis flower; and they exhibited features of both flowers and paraclades (lateral flowering shoots). M
Recent pollination experiments with highly irradiated (100,000 r) pollen in Nicotiana have shown that radiation-"pulverized" pollen chromatin can cause genetic transformation of the egg. A new model is proposed here for integration of chromatin fragments into host chromosomes. It is also proposed th
