This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2 - Zero hunger
Plant reproductive development, spanning flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed formation, is orchestrated through the integration of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, and environmental cues. Understanding how these multifaceted inputs are dynamically regulated and coordinated to ensure reproductive success is important for biodiversity and agricultural productivity. While significant progress has been made, recent technological advances, such as gene-editing, single-cell omics, super-resolution imaging, and phylogenomics, are enabling deeper understanding of reproductive processes across spatial, temporal, and evolutionary scales. This collection invites studies encompassing diverse aspects of plant reproductive development including (not limited to) cellular and molecular regulation of developmental stages, signaling cascades in response to intrinsic and extrinsic cues, and evolutionary principles shaping reproductive diversity.
