Update on Plant Sexual Reproduction - a Proteomic Perspective

Plant sexual reproduction is a fundamental process that has implications for development, evolution, distribution, and breeding. There is a significant body of knowledge about the genetic regulation of plant sexual reproductive processes and development which needs to be validated and complemented by using other approaches, such as proteomics, in an attempt to understand how the different proteoforms regulate them.

In this research topic, a proteomic perspective to plant sexual reproduction is highlighted to give insights into the changes in the protein profiles during flower initiation and development, and identify key proteins and interactions implicated in sex determination, gamete formation, and fertilization.

All article types published by Frontiers in Plant Science examining this proteomic perspective (including structural resolution of proteins involved) in plant sexual reproduction are welcome.
