摘要： Pollen development is a highly conserved trait in higher plants. Detailed understanding of pollen regulatory networks in models is enabling identification of homologous genes for plant fertility in crops; however, functional conservation has to be proven. Such genes have potential applications in developing future hybrid breeding systems.

Abstract:

Pollen development is a critical step in plant development that is needed for successful breeding and seed formation. Manipulation of male fertility has proved a useful trait for hybrid breeding and increased crop yield. However, although there is a good understanding developing of the molecular mechanisms of anther and pollen anther development in model species, such as Arabidopsis and rice, little is known about the equivalent processes in important crops. Nevertheless the onset of increased genomic information and genetic tools is facilitating translation of information from the models to crops, such as barley and wheat; this will enable increased understanding and manipulation of these pathways for agricultural improvement.
