In the midst of a fully paved and built-upon landscape, with not even the smallest garden in evidence, I heard what was unmistakably katydid (bushcricket) song.

متن کاملReproductive Biology: Receptor-Like Kinases Orchestrate Love Songs in Plants
Genetic studies have identified a family of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) involved in the control of reproduction in the model plant Arabidopsis. Each RLK-dependent signaling pathway is active in cells associated with either male or female gametes. Collectively, these RLKs control the delivery of sperm cells to female gametes.
