At a time of unprecedented human population growth, climate change, and losses in biodiversity, plant reproduction is a particularly strategic research topic. From the very moment that a sporophytic cell switches its developmental pathway to become the megasporocyte or microsporocyte until a seed is finally formed, an intricate network of tightly regulated signalling pathways is in action. In recent years our understanding of the plant reproductive system has evolved enormously, and at a great pace. This special issue includes a collection of reviews that present the current state of the art across several areas of research in plant reproduction.
