Arabidopsis BUPS-ANX receptor complex coordinates with RALF peptides to regulate pollen tube integrity and sperm release / Zengxiang Ge.

This book summarizes the latest studies on plant reproduction and multiple aspects of signaling in reproductive development. It also presents the most advanced processes in CrRLK1L receptor and RALF peptide studies during plant development. Focusing on signaling in pollen tube integrity and sperm re...
