Eragrostis curvula, a Model Species for Diplosporous Apomixis. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness is a grass with a particular apomictic embryo sac development called Eragrostis type. Apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction that produces seeds without fertilization in which the resulting progeny is genetically ...

New records and observations of macroalgae and associated pathogens from the Falkland Islands, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego [PDF]
, 2016 Subantarctic and Antarctic regions remain little explored with regards to their seaweed diversity. This study is based upon collections in the early 1970s and 2007–2013.

Harnessing the developmental potential of nucellar cells: Barriers and opportunities [PDF]
, 2004 Angiosperm nucellar cells can either use or avoid meiosis in vivo, depending on the developmental context. This unique ability contrasts with the conditions required in vitro, either for a reconstituted oocyte to avoid meiosis and produce clones by ...

Molecular Basis of Apomixis in Plants [PDF]
, 2022 Apomixis is the consequence of a concerted mechanism that harnesses the sexual machinery and coordinates developmental steps in the ovule to produce an asexual (clonal) seed.

Functional characterization of the diatom cyclin-dependent kinase A2 as a mitotic regulator reveals plant-like properties in a non-green lineage [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are crucial regulators of cell cycle progression in eukaryotes. The diatom CDKA2 was originally assigned to the classical A-type CDKs, but its cell cycle phase-specific transcription at the G2-to-M phase ...

Analysis of variation for apomictic reproduction in diploid Paspalum rufum [PDF]
, 2014 Background and Aims: The diploid cytotype of Paspalum rufum (Poaceae) reproduces sexually and is self-sterile; however, recurrent autopolyploidization through 2n + n fertilization and the ability for reproduction via apomixis have been documented in one ...
