Analyzing female gametophyte development and function: There is more than one way to crack an egg
چکیده انگلیسی

In flowering plants, gametes are formed in specialized haploid structures, termed gametophytes. The female gametophyte is a few-celled structure that integrates such diverse functions as pollen tube attraction, sperm cell release, gamete fusion and seed initiation. These processes are realized by distinct cell types, which ensure reproductive success in a coordinated manner. In the past decade, much progress has been made concerning the molecular nature of the functions carried out by the different cell types. Here, we review recent work that has shed light on female gametophyte development and function with a particular focus on approaches that have led to the isolation of genes involved in these processes.
