This course explores the role of Plant LINC Complexes in male fertility and stomatal function as discussed in the Cell Plenary Talk by Iris Meier. The learning outcomes include understanding the impact of LINC Complexes on nuclear movement in germinating pollen, pollen tube termination, and SC-to-ovule migration. Participants will also learn about the involvement of KASH proteins in stomatal function and the differential functions of SINE1 and SINE2 during stomatal closure. The teaching method involves a lecture format with a duration of 51 minutes. This course is intended for individuals interested in plant biology, cell biology, and molecular biology.
