The following points highlight the top five applications of pollen biotechnology: 1. Overcoming Pollination Constraints for Optimization of Crop Yield 2. Developing Effective Pollination Control System for Commercial Production of Hybrid Seeds 3. Overcoming Cross ability Barriers to Transfer of Useful Genes to Crop Species and Others. Application # 1. Overcoming Pollination Constraints for Optimization of Crop Yield: In majority [...]
In this article we will discuss about the pollen-expressed and pollen specific genes. It is recognized that there are two different sets of genes required for pollen development, one set for the development of pollen grains prior to anthesis, and the other for pollen germination and tube growth. Several reports are accessible aimed at examining the genes expressed during pollen [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Pollen Wall Adaptations 2. Harmomegathic Adaptation 3. Adaptation to Habitat 4. Adaptation to Mode of Pollination The Sporoderm structure, its chemical constituents and the diverse aperture types of pollen grains, has possibly developed as a need to adaptation in response to their respective habitats and mode of pollination. It has been seen [...]
