Abstrakt: Unlike early land plants, flowering plants have evolved a pollen tube that transports a pair of non-motile sperm cells to the female gametophyte. This process, known as siphonogamy, was first observed in gymnosperms and later became prevalent in angiosperms. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the male-female interactions remain enigmatic. From the landing of the pollen grain on the stigma to gamete fusion, the male part needs to pass various tests: how does the stigma distinguish between compatible and incompatible pollen? what mechanisms guide the pollen tube towards the ovule? what factors trigger pollen tube rupture? how is polyspermy prevented? and how does the sperm cell ultimately reach the egg? Successful male-female communication is essential for surmounting these challenges, with cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) playing a pivotal role in this dialogue. In this review, we summarize the characteristics of four distinct classes of CRPs, systematically review recent progress in the role of CRPs in four crucial stages of pollination and fertilization, consider potential applications of this knowledge in crop breeding, and conclude by suggesting avenues for future research.
