Flavonols control pollen tube growth and integrity by regulating ROS homeostasis during high-temperature stress
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Plant sexual reproduction is required for seed and fruit production and is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures, suggesting that climate change may have profound agricultural impacts through inhibition of this process. During reproduction, pollen tubes must navigate long distances through floral tissues to fertilize ovules. We demonstrate that high-temperature stress increases levels of reactive oxygen species in pollen tubes, which inhibits pollen tube growth. We report that specialized metabolites of the flavonol class prevent reactive oxygen species from reaching inhibitory levels at normal and increased temperatures, thereby promoting pollen viability and pollen tube growth. These results indicate that flavonols enhance reproduction, particularly during heat stress, and could confer protection to plants against the negative effects of climate change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
