In a previous review of male gametophyte development (McCormick, 1993), it was noted that
the two areas posed by Mascarenhas (1975) as fruitful areas for future research were the …

Vascular plants contain two gene families that encode monosaccharide transporter proteins.
The classical monosaccharide transporter (-like) gene superfamily is large and functionally …

Despite much effort, a robust protocol for in vitro germination of Arabidopsis thaliana pollen
has been elusive. Here we show that controlled temperatures, a largely disregarded factor in …

In flowering plants, sink tissues rely on transport of carbohydrates from photosynthetic
tissues (sources) for nutrition and energy. However, how sugar partitioning in plants is …

Wheat sheds tricellular short-lived pollen at maturity. The identification of viable pollen
required for high seed set is important for breeders and conservators. The present study …

The availability of complete plant genomes has greatly influenced the identification and
analysis of phylogenetically related gene clusters. In Arabidopsis, this has revealed the …

Abstract The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) is ubiquitous in living organisms and
represents the largest group of secondary active membrane transporters. In plants …

A compendium of methods useful for characterizing Arabidopsis pollen mutants and
gametophytically- expressed genes Page 1 TECHNIQUES FOR MOLECULAR ANALYSIS A …

The male gametophyte of Arabidopsis is a three‐celled pollen grain that is thought to
contain almost all the mRNAs needed for germination and rapid pollen tube growth. We …
