Capacitation in Plant and Animal Fertilization.
Trends in Plant Science 2018 Februrary
Sexual reproduction relies on the successful fusion of the sperm and egg cell. Despite the vast differences between plants and animals, there are similarities at a molecular level between plant and animal reproduction. While the molecular basis of fertilization has been extensively studied in plants, the process of capacitation has received little attention until recently. Recent research has started to uncover the molecular basis of plant capacitation. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that the key molecules in plants and animal fertilization are functionally conserved. Here, we review new insights for our understanding of capacitation of pollen tube and fertilization in plants and also propose that there are commonalities in the process of sexual reproduction between plants and animals.
