A decade of pollen transcriptomics

摘要: Key message Overview of pollen transcriptome studies. Pollen development is driven by gene expression, and knowledge the molecular events underlying this process has undergone a quantum leap in last decade through studies transcriptome. Here, we outline historical evidence for male haploid expression review wealth data now available. Knowledge transcriptional capacity progressed from genetic to direct analysis RNA gene-by-gene analyses on genomic scale. Microarray and/or RNA-seq can be accessed all phases cell types developing encompassing 10 different angiosperms. These growing resources have accelerated research will undoubtedly inspire new directions application system-based into mechanisms that govern development, function evolution angiosperm pollen.
