Abstract: Male gametogenesis in flowering plants is the main function executing sexual reproduction, so the focus of plant scientists is study of the development of male gametogenesis. For both the model species Arabidopsis thaliana and rice (Oryza sativa), the completion of the genome sequence has made possible study of pollen development at the genome level. This review focuses on recent advances in pollen transcriptomics of A. thaliana.
