Article Abstract
How do self-pollinating plants maximize fertility under pollen-limiting stresses? A recent study shows that some Brassicaceae species employ a dynamic two-step self-pollination mechanism. Flower closure after initial opening enables a second pollen deposition, doubling the pollen load and rescuing seed set under heat stress or fertilization failure.
