This book contains the proceedings of the International
Symposium on the Mechanisms of Sexual Reproduction in Animals and
Plants, where many plant and animal reproductive biologists
gathered to discuss their recent progress in investigating the
shared mechanisms and factors involved in sexual reproduction. This
now is the first book that reviews recent progress in almost all
fields of plant and animal fertilization. It was recently reported
that the self-sterile mechanism of a hermaphroditic marine
invertebrate (ascidian) is very similar to the self-incompatibility
system in flowering plants. It was also found that a male factor
expressed in the sperm cells of flowering plants is involved in
gamete fusion not only of plants but also of animals and parasites.
These discoveries have led to the consideration that the core
mechanisms or factors involved in sexual reproduction may be shared
by animals, plants and unicellular organisms. This valuable book is
highly useful for reproductive biologists as well as for biological
scientists outside this field in understanding the current progress
of reproductive biology.
