In flowering plants, extensive male–female interactions during pollen germination on the stigma, pollen tube growth and guidance in the transmitting tract, and pollen tube reception by the female gametophyte are required for successful double fertilization in which various signaling cascades are involved. Peptide/receptor-like kinase-mediated signaling has been found playing important roles in these male–female interactions. Here, we mainly summarized the progress made on the regulatory roles of peptide/receptor-like kinase-mediated signaling pathways in four critical stages during reproduction in higher plants.

在有花植物中，花粉在柱头上萌发时会发生很多的雄性-雌性之间的相互作用，花粉管生长以及在传导管中的指引，雌配子体接受花粉管对于植物顺利完成双受精是必需的，而在该过程中涉及到了非常多的信号级联。类多肽/受体激酶介导的信号转导在这些雄性-雌性相互作用中扮演非常重要的作用。本文中，作者主要综述了在高等植物生殖期间四个重要阶段中，类多肽/受体激酶介导的信号通路的调控作用这方面取得的最新研究进展。
