Biotechnological methods are opening new ways in plant breeding.
They allow novel strategies for improving crop productivity and
quality, especially in the agrofood sector. The molecular
mechanisms underlying these biotechnological approaches are
presented here. Topics included are: pollen development, pollen
tube growth, macrosporogenesis and fertilization and the effects of
pesticides on sexual plant reproduction.
Fertilization in higher plants is a complex process consisting of
two events, the fusion of the egg with one sperm cell resulting in
the diploid zygote, and the fusion of embryosac nuclei with another
sperm cell, leading to a triploid endosperm. This "double
fertilization" is preceded by the pollination process and a long
lasting interaction between the dipoid pistil and the haploid
pollen tube (progamic phase). Fertilization of flowering plants
results in the formation of seeds and fruits, our basic food
supply.
