CitationProfessor Franklin Tong is renowned for her studies on the cell biology and biochemistry of pollen. In particular, she has developed - almost single-handedly – poppy as a tractable model system for the study of mechanisms that underpin self-incompatibility (a genetic phenomenon that assures outbreeding). The resultant major discoveries have revolutionized our knowledge of cell-cell recognition, regulation of pollen tube growth and have served as a paradigm for understanding key aspects of signalling pathways and programmed cell death in a variety of other plant systems.
