Figure 10From: Dissection of jasmonate functions in tomato stamen development by transcriptome and metabolome analysesSchematic model of the role of jasmonates in stamen development of tomato. Jasmonate levels increase transiently during stamen development. In the first phase, increasing JA levels promote pollen nutrition and development. In the second phase of stamen development, jasmonates function as inhibitor of a premature rise of ethylene, which itself positively regulates anther dehiscence and pollen release.Back to article page
