Researchers unravel mystery of pollination
Research led by local scientists has unraveled the fundamental pollination mechanism of flowering plants, which may be utilized for high-quality varieties in agriculture.
The results were published in the journal Science recently after four year’s study by Dr Li Chao’s team from the School of Life Sciences at East China Normal University.
By focusing on Arabidopsis, an important model plant in the Brassicaceae family, the research revealed the molecular mechanism for pollen-stigma mutual recognition, recognizing pollen of their own species and rejecting others for reproduction.
