Anna A. Dobritsa studies how pollen grains build their outer wall, focusing on the formation of the tough surface layer (exine) and specialized openings called apertures, mainly using the model plant Arabidopsis. This work aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms plants use to construct precise surface patterns on pollen, which are important for pollen survival and successful plant reproduction.
