Plant reproductive biology has undergone a revolution during the
past five years, with the cloning, sequencing and localization of
the genes important in reproduction. These advantages in plant
molecular biology have led to exciting applications in plant
biotechnology, including the genetic engineering of male sterility
and other reproductive processes. This book presents an interesting
and contemporary account of these new developments from the
scientists in whose laboratories they have been made. The chapters
focus on two areas: the molecular biology of self-incompatibility,
which is the system of self-recognition controlled by the S-gene
and related genes; and the cellular and molecular biology of pollen
development and genetic dissection of male sterility. Some chapters
feature Arabidopsis, with its unique genetic system. Reproduction
is vital for seed production in crop plants, and this book presents
new approaches to manipulate plant breeding systems for the 21st
century.
