TRIMETHYLGUANOSINE SYNTHASE1 mutations decanalize female germline development in Arabidopsis
New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 2, Page 597-612, October 2023., 2023 Summary Here, we report the characterization of a plant RNA methyltransferase, orthologous to yeast trimethylguanosine synthase1 (Tgs1p) and whose downregulation was associated with apomixis in Paspalum grasses. Using phylogenetic analyses and yeast complementation, we determined that land plant genomes all encode a conserved, specific TGS1 protein ...

The spread of infectious asexuality through haploid pollen
New Phytologist, Volume 230, Issue 2, Page 804-820, April 2021., 2021 Summary The mechanisms of initiation and transmission of apomixis (asexual reproduction through seeds) in natural plant populations are important for understanding the evolution of reproductive variation. Here, we used the phylogenetic diversity of the genus Boechera (Brassicaceae), together with natural diversity in pollen types produced by apomictic ...

Skipping sex: A nonrecombinant genomic assemblage of complementary reproductive modules
BioEssays, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021 Asexuality arises through developmental alterations with apparently unrelated origins. We show the occurrence of asexual animals and plants have a common genetic and developmental basis on a single nonrecombinant assemblage of genomic elements altering complementary reproductive modules.

Synthetic apomixis: the beginning of a new era.
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2023 Apomixis is a process of asexual reproduction that enables plants to bypass meiosis and fertilization to generate clonal seeds that are identical to the maternal genotype. Apomixis has tremendous potential for breeding plants with desired characteristics,

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Polyploid genomes evolve and follow a series of dynamic transfigurations along with adaptation and speciation. The initial formation of a new polyploid individual within a diploid population usually involves a triploid bridge, a two-step mechanism of ...

The Boechera Genus as a Resource for Apomixis Research
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The genera Boechera (A. Löve et D. Löve) and Arabidopsis, the latter containing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, belong to the same clade within the Brassicaceae family.

Bio-Protocol, 2015 Seeds derived from a diploid, sexual plant typically contain a 2n embryo (n+n) and 3n endosperm, a ratio characteristic for most flowering plants. However, this ratio is altered in apomictic species, which reproduce asexually through seeds (Koltunow and ...

Engineering meiotic recombination pathways in rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 2062-2077, November 2019., 2019 Summary In the last 15 years, outstanding progress has been made in understanding the function of meiotic genes in the model dicot and monocot plants Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa L.), respectively. This knowledge allowed to modulate meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis and, more recently, in rice. For instance, the overall frequency of crossovers
