Plant fertilisation is a highly specific process involving the interaction of a number of pollen coat protein families with the surface of the stigma. In the 29 June Science Jacob Mayfield and colleagues from the University of Chicago report the identification of clusters of genes that encode these pollen coat proteins in the brassica Arabadopsis thaliana (Science 2001, 292:2482-2485).
