Abstract: Plant peptides have been identified as important regulators in many processes of plant growth and development for nearly 30 years. Peptide regulators majorly function in cell-cell communications at very low concentrations. In angiosperms, many classes of peptides have been identified involved in the complex male-female interactions. Here, we introduce the function of the peptide families acting in the pollen-pistil interactions and summarize the progress focusing on the signal transduction and evolution of these peptides.
