Stigma receptors control intraspecies and interspecies barriers in Brassicaceae

Jiabao Huang et al.

Summary: Flowering plants have developed self-incompatibility and interspecific barriers to prevent the production of unfavorable offspring. Self-incompatibility is achieved by the interaction between S-Locus proteins and S-Locus receptor kinases to reject self-pollen, while interspecific barriers follow the rule of unilateral incompatibility on self-incompatible pistils and unilateral compatibility on self-compatible pistils. In Brassicaceae, S-Locus proteins and S-Locus receptor kinases activate FER-mediated reactive oxygen species production to reject incompatible pollen, while diverged pollen coat proteins trigger nitric oxide to facilitate pollen growth in a preferential manner, maintaining species integrity.

The female germ unit is essential for pollen tube funicular guidance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Xiu Wang et al.

Summary: In angiosperm, the ovules provide guidance cues for pollen tube fertilization, with the micropyle guiding the tube over short distances and the funiculus guiding it over longer distances. However, little is known about the signaling for funicular guidance. In this study, the researchers discovered that the funiculus and the female gametophyte play important roles in pollen tube guidance, with the loss of a specific gene interrupting funicular guidance. Furthermore, they found that the guiding signal for funicular guidance is generated from the female gametophyte and that all the female germ unit cells are involved in funicular guidance.

An Overview of Oak Species in Pakistan: Past, Present, and Future Research Perspectives

Noor Muhammad et al.

Summary: This article introduces the formation of broad-leaved evergreen forests by Quercus spp. in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan regions of Pakistan. Seven species of Quercus genus have been identified, but they have received little attention in terms of their economic value and bioactivity evaluation. Quercus spp. show promise for commercial applications, but are currently threatened by human activities and climate change. This review highlights the importance of these forgotten species and discusses various aspects of their distribution, morphology, traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and threats. The lack of molecular studies on populations of these species in Pakistan is a critical gap that needs to be addressed for conservation and management strategies. Future research directions in molecular approaches for Quercus are also discussed.

Genome-wide analyses of introgression between two sympatric Asian oak species

Ruirui Fu et al.

Summary: Introgression, as an important source of new alleles for adaption, is found to be broadly distributed across the genome and associated with adaptive introgression in regions with suppressed recombination rate in two sympatric widespread Asian oak species. These findings suggest that introgression plays a key role in genetic variation and adaptation in oak populations.

Pollen-pistil interactions: It takes two to tangle but a molecular cast of many to deliver

Alice Y. Cheung et al.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in the past three decades in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying pollen-pistil interactions in flowering plants, particularly in the discovery of pollen tube attractants and their role in conspecific precedence and interspecific genetic isolation. Recent studies have focused on male-female interactions during the prezygotic phase and the contributions from male and female gametophytes. Additionally, there have been important advancements in understanding the mechanistic basis of how these interactions overcome barriers at various pollen-pistil interfaces to facilitate fertilization with desirable mates.

Finding new Arabidopsis receptor kinases that regulate compatible pollen-pistil interactions

Stephen J. Bordeleau et al.

Summary: Successful fertilization of a flowering plant requires cell-to-cell communication between pollen grain and pistil, where ligand-receptor kinase signaling plays a crucial role. While the later stages of pollen-pistil interactions have been well studied in Arabidopsis, the earlier stages remain less clear. Recent studies have implicated predicted receptor kinases in regulating pollen hydration and growth in the upper regions of the pistil. However, many questions regarding their specific functions remain unanswered.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the Chinese cork oak (Quercus variabilis)

Biao Han et al.

Summary: In this study, a high-quality genome of Quercus variabilis was generated using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. The genome size was 787 Mb, with 12 pseudo-chromosomes. Q. variabilis was found to be closely related to Q. suber and no species-specific whole genome duplications were identified. These genomic resources will be valuable for breeding strategies and comparative genomics in oak species.

RNA-Seq Highlights Molecular Events Associated With Impaired Pollen-Pistil Interactions Following Short-Term Heat Stress in Brassica napus

Neeta Lohani et al.

Summary: Global climate change is increasing the frequency of heatwaves, affecting the reproductive processes of Brassica napus and leading to yield loss. Short-term heat stress events not only impact pollen fitness but also impair the support function of the pistil, ultimately affecting seed set and yield. The study reveals that high temperature alters key regulatory pathways in reproductive tissues, providing insights for genetic improvement of thermotolerance and reproductive performance in B. napus varieties.

Ovary Signals for Pollen Tube Guidance in Chalazogamous Mangifera indica L.

Summary: The study characterized pollen-pistil interaction in mango, revealing differences in the process compared to porogamous species. Key factors such as starch, arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were found to play a role in directional pollen tube growth. The results support heterotrophic growth of mango pollen tubes in the style at the expense of starch, while GABA and starch were not highly present in the micropyle of mango.

LARP6C orchestrates posttranscriptional reprogramming of gene expression during hydration to promote pollen tube guidance

Elodie Billey et al.

Summary: The RNA-binding protein LARP6C plays a crucial role in the transition from mature pollen to pollen tubes and guided growth towards the ovule in Arabidopsis thaliana. It binds to transcripts encoding proteins related to lipid synthesis, vesicular trafficking, and cell growth, forming cytoplasmic granules that may serve as storage sites for translationally silent mRNAs. Loss of LARP6C in pollen tubes affects storage lipids and vesicular trafficking, and it can shift from a repressor to an activator of translation during the transition to the progamic phase.

Summary: This study found that the viability and germination rate of fresh pollen varied under different storage temperatures, with Budimka cultivar showing the highest viability and germination rate. Storage at 4 degrees Celsius extended the pollen viability and germinability, while -20 or -80 degrees Celsius significantly prolonged the pollen longevity for all cultivars. After 6 months, pollen stored at -20 and -80 degrees Celsius had much higher germination rates compared to pollen stored at room temperature for the same period.
