SHUKR in the sporophytic tissue directs male gametophyte development in Arabidopsis
Plant Science Research WeeklyIn flowering plants, reproduction involves the alternation of two generations: the diploid sporophyte and the haploid gametophyte. Traditionally, the male gametophyte was thought to develop autonomously with minimal regulation by the sporophyte. However, recent research by Sivakumar, Pandey, and Ramesha…
