A team of international researchers has discovered that the phytohormone auxin plays a crucial role in energy production during pollen maturation in barley, potentially leading to improved plant breeding and sustainable agriculture. The study, published in Current Biology, reveals that auxin increases the output of genes and pathways that generate energy in the form of ATP, and that barley pollen is capable of producing auxin independently from the mother plant. This finding could be used to control male fertility in cereal crops, enabling large-scale hybrid seed production.

The pollen grains of maize, rice and all other cereals, need to store starch as energy deposit for later use during fertilization. A research team, led by Dr. Ivan Acosta from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, together with colleagues from the Umeå Plant Science Centre, Sweden, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Germany and Rutgers University, U.S. now identified the phytohormone auxin as a main driver for energy production during pollen maturation in barley. The study, published in Current Biology, shows a direct link of auxin to pollen fertility, presenting an important tool to improve plant breeding and a major step towards sustainable agriculture.After a long day of playing and running around outdoors, ...
