Plant reproduction guarantees the perpetuation of species and genetic continuity. Sexual and asexual reproductive tactics among plant taxa will be covered in this session. Gametophyte growth, meiosis, and double fertilization in angiosperms will be discussed by participants. The session emphasizes pollen-pistil interaction and the molecular processes controlling fertilization. Scientists will also present apomixis, vegetative multiplication, and other asexual forms of reproduction. Case studies will illustrate how reproductive strategies determine plant adaptation to environments. Participants will be informed on how reproductive barriers promote speciation and biodiversity. Climate change effects on reproductive success in plants will also be addressed. Practical applications include breeding techniques in plants that exploit reproductive biology for crop improvement. Cutting-edge molecular research on reproductive gene regulation will be emphasized. This session brings together physiology, ecology, and genetics to present a holistic understanding of plant reproductive biology.
