The present study was attempted to investigate the effect of succinylation, as chemical modification, on the functionality of male date palm pollen protein concentrate (MDPPPC). Succinylation was applied at two levels, 4 and 8 mol of succinic acid per mole of lysine. 4 M and 8 M were compared to the native MDPPPC. Findings proved that succinylation improved the surface properties of pollen protein including solubility and surfactant activity. Increased solubility of succinylated MDPPPC has been noticed especially in pH superior to pHi. The results from the differential scanning calorimetry showed a significant decrease < of the denaturation temperature and the heat enthalpy for succinylated MDPPPC. β turn of succinylated MDPPPC increased significantly < at the expense of β sheet indicating that the protein gained more mobility after succinylation which explains the enhancement of the functional properties and promotes the use of succinylated protein as a techno-functional ingredient.

This study indicated that the CCHC-type zinc finger protein PbrZFP719 involves into self-incompatibility by affecting the levels of reactive oxygen species and cellulose content at the tips of pollen tubes. S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) facilitates cross-pollination and prevents self-pollination, which in turn increases the costs associated with artificial pollination in fruit crops. Self S-RNase exerts its inhibitory effects on pollen tube growth by altering cell structures and components, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and cellulose content.

Using male sterile (MS) lines instead of normal inbred maternal lines in hybrid seed production can increase the yield and quality with lower production costs. Therefore, developing a new MS germplasm is essential for maize hybrid seed production in the future. Here, we reported a male sterility gene , cloned from a newly found MS mutant .

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a powerful evolutionary mechanism in plants. Autopolyploids have been comparatively less studied than allopolyploids, with sexual autopolyploidization receiving even less attention. In this work, we studied the transcriptomes of neotetraploids (2n = 4x = 32) obtained by crossing two diploid (2n = 2x = 16) plants of Medicago sativa that produce a significant percentage of either 2n eggs or pollen.
