Thermotolerant pollen tube growth is controlled by RALF signaling.

Rasha Althiab Almasaud, Sorel V Yimga Ouonkap, Jared Ingram…·Mark A. Johnson

This study identifies RALF signaling as a regulator of thermotolerant pollen tube growth in tomato, showing that RALF peptides repress germination at normal temperatures but are antagonized by heat stress.

Enhanced pollen tube performance at high temperature contributes to thermotolerant fruit production in tomato.

Sorel V. Yimga Ouonkap, P Meenakshisundaram, Kelsey Pryze…·Mark A. Johnson

This study identifies how enhanced pollen tube growth under high temperature contributes to thermotolerant fruit production in tomato by analyzing transcriptomic responses and key molecular mechanisms.
