Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Sex determination is of interest to plant breeders who transfer useful genes from wild relatives to the cultivated strawberry. The potential roles in sex determination of seven candidate genes, which included five SUPERMAN genes, the AGAMOUS gene, and ...

Floral meristems and shoot apical meristems (SAMs) are homologous, self-maintaining stem cell systems. Unlike SAMs, floral meristems are determinate, and stem cell maintenance is abolished once all floral organs are initiated.

Improving Biological Control Outcomes: A New Zealand Perspective
This short communication outlines the imperative for advances in classical biological control, often based on molecular technologies, to accentuate the efficacy of impact while being cognisant of the need for biological control safety.

Loss-of-function alleles of AGAMOUS-LIKE24 (AGL24) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) revealed that these two similar MADS box genes have opposite functions in controlling the floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana, with AGL24 functioning as a promoter ...

ABSTRACT Flowering time is a crucial agronomic trait affecting yield and plant performance in different climates and photoperiods. While the molecular pathways regulating photoperiodic flowering are well‐characterized in Arabidopsis and cereals, they remain poorly understood in many other groups of plants.

Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

The Arabidopsis floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG) is required for development of the reproductive organs (stamens and carpels). In ag mutants, the loss of AG function leads to the conversion of these organs to the perianth organs (petals and sepals).
