Concurrent Deficiency of Gibberellins and Abscisic Acid Causes Plant Male Sterility

Plant fertility influences crop yield and quality, and thus is an important economic trait for agricultural production. There- fore, it is essential to understand the precise molecular mechanisms that control plant fertility. In the past decades, many studies demonstrated that the phytohormones gibb...

Description
Summary:Plant fertility influences crop yield and quality, and thus is an important economic trait for agricultural production. There- fore, it is essential to understand the precise molecular mechanisms that control plant fertility. In the past decades, many studies demonstrated that the phytohormones gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) play key roles in the regulation of plant fertility (Kasembe, 1967; Stein, 1971; Jacobsen and Olszewski, 1991; Zhu et al., 2010), but the detailed mecha- nisms largely remain unknown so far.
