Abstract:Pollen development is highly susceptible to heat stress (HS) and the production of inviable pollen causes reduction in seed-and fruit-set in plants. This study was carried out to identify HS-induced pollen proteins and the associated biological processes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Tomato 'Micro-Tom' plants were incubated under 32°C//22°C (day/night, 12/12 h) for two weeks for heat treatment, and the non-treated control plants were incubated for the same time period at 25°C /22°C. Flower buds of 5 mm in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
