Gymnosperm reproduction

Research

  • Gymnosperm reproduction

Reproduction in gymnosperms begins with interaction of pollen with ovules. After being delivered by insect or, more commonly by wind, pollen comes into contact with ovules. A pollination drop is secreted. The drop withdraws into the interior of the ovule, carrying the pollen with it. Some drops are quite sugary: these behave as nectar. Others in wind-pollinated systems are much less sugary and merely transport pollen. Regardless of pollination syndrome, drops eliminate fungi and bacteria that are also poised to enter these ovules that, characteristic of gymnosperms, are open to the outside. We have used proteomics, HPLC and other methods. We have begun to unpick the evolutionary history of the composition of these fluids. Most recently, we have also begun working on cycads, in particular the fertilization fluids in which their giant sperm swim.
