  abstract     = {{Heat waves during summer days affect plant reproduction in various aspects including
flowering time, pollen development, pollen germination and pollen tube growth, and
accumulation of storage compounds during seed filling. Because heat stress has a strong
impact on seed production, it is critically important to improve crop heat tolerance during
the reproductive phase. The effects of heat on CENH3-mediated haploid induction
system, pollen development of rrb1 mutant and meiosis process in different ecotypes of
Arabidopsis were studied and described in the  presented PhD thesis. The goals of this
PhD work included unravelling the underlying mechanism of heat inducing seed abortion
during haploid induction cross, investigating the possible link between protein synthesis
and pollen heat tolerance and identifying the genetic regulator of meiotic heat sensitivity.
With the visualization  of heat effects on various reproductive phases in different
backgrounds, this work might extend the application of the CENH3-based haploid
induction system to other crops and help improving the breeding of plant heat tolerance.}},
