In autogamous plants, self-pollination is ensured by a timely opening of anthers (dehiscence) and release of mature pollen grains. Auxin plays a paramount role in controlling the correct timing of anther dehiscence. Now, a molecular switch that allows the timely change in auxin level in rice anthers has been unveiled.

Abstract

In autogamous plants, self-pollination is ensured by a timely opening of anthers (dehiscence) and release of mature pollen grains. Auxin plays a paramount role in controlling the correct timing of anther dehiscence. Now, a molecular switch that allows the timely change in auxin level in rice anthers has been unveiled.
