Adaptive reduction of male gamete number in the selfing plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Adaptive reduction of male gamete number in the selfing plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Reduction of pollen grain number is widespread in selfing plants, but the determining gene is unknown. Here, the authors show that a ribosome-biogenesis factor encoding gene RDP1 is responsible for adaptive reduction of male gamete number in Arabidopsis thaliana.
