Cold-induced peptide signalling secures pollen resilience and crop yield - Nature

Data availabilityGene and protein sequences used in this study were collected from the Sol Genomics Network (tomato; https://solgenomics.net/), Rice Genome Annotation Project (rice; https://rice.uga.edu/), TAIR10 (Arabidopsis; https://www.arabidopsis.org/) and The Plant Genomics Resource (https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov/). Expression pattern analysis was conducted with published RNA-sequencing data (GEO: GSE40854; SRA: PRJNA631095). Uncropped gel and blot images are provided in Supplementary Fig. 4. Primers and annotated peptides are provided in Supplementary Tables 1–3. Source data are provided with this paper.ReferencesFischer, E. M. et al. Record-breaking extremes in a warming climate. Nat.
