Deskripsi

Species-specific gamete recognition is needed to maintain species boundaries. Here, Müller et al. show that ARTUMES regulates pollen tube recognition between different Arabidopsisspecies, representing the first gene known to exclusively influence inter- but not intraspecific gamete interaction in plants.
