During fertilization in eukaryotes, gametes of the opposite sex undergo a complex series of interactions that culminate in cell fusion. A new study on gamete interaction in plants has identified the first protein in multicellular organisms shown by gene disruption to be essential for gamete membrane adhesion.
在真核生物的受精过程中，两性配子经历了一系列复杂的相互作用，最终导致细胞融合。一项关于植物配子相互作用的新研究已经确定了第一个通过基因敲除被证明对配子膜黏附至关重要的多细胞生物中的蛋白质。
