Nagoya, Japan — Dr. Daisuke Maruyama and Professor Tetsuya Higashiyama at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI - ITbM) of Nagoya University and the JST - ERATO Higashiyama Live - Holonics Project along with their international team have shown by live - cell imaging techniques that flowering plants, such as Arabidopsis
thaliana undergo a cell to cell fusion to prevent the attraction of the second pollen tube after fertilization has occurred.
In the model plant
Aribidopsis thaliana these include 5 transcription factors that activate genes when auxin is present (called ARFs) and 29 repressor proteins that block the transcription factors by binding to them (Aux / IAA proteins).
