Summary The flow cytometric seed screen allows for identification of reproductive modes of seed formation and inference of the ploidy of contributing gametes. However, the lack of a mathematical formalization to infer male/female genomic contributions, and the prerequisite of a binucleate female contribution to the endosperm limits its applicability ...

This study employed molecular markers and morphological studies of two populations of Monostroma nitidum collected from YJ and ZJ. The results revealed no obvious differences in tufA and 18S rDNA sequences between the two populations, although there were extremely significant differences in morphological characteristics. M.

Summary Asexual organisms often differ in their geographic distributions from their sexual relatives. This phenomenon, termed geographic parthenogenesis, has long been known, but the underlying factors behind its diverse patterns have been under dispute. Particularly problematic is an association between asexuality and polyploidy in most taxa. Here, we

On the presence of fertile gametophytes of Padina pavonica (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) from the Iberian coasts [PDF]
The gametophytes of Padina pavonica (L.) Thivy have received little attention in literature. Both female and predominantly male monoecious gametophytes of P. pavonica are recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. A detailed description of the

Gametophyte interaction and sexual reproduction: how plants make a zygote [PDF]
The evolutionary success of higher plants relies on a very short gametophytic phase, which underlies the sexual reproduction cycle. Sexual plant reproduction takes place in special organs of the flower: pollen, the male gametophyte, is released from the ...

Molecular control of autonomous embryo and endosperm development [PDF]
Precocious seed development is usually prevented by a series of mechanisms that ensure seed production results from double fertilization. These events are circumvented in natural apomictic plant species that reproduce clonally through seed.

Genes modulating the increase in sexuality in the facultative diplosporous grass eragrostis curvula under water stress conditions [PDF]
Eragrostis curvula presents mainly facultative genotypes that reproduce by diplosporous apomixis, retaining a percentage of sexual pistils that increase under drought and other stressful situations, indicating that some regulators activated by stress ...

Characterization of tissue specific expressed proteins and metabolites in Cenchrus polystachion (L.) Schult and their role in apomixis [PDF]
Agricultural production can be aggrandized by adaptation of trending technologies or processes which focus on increase in seed production. Asexual reproduction in plants or Apomixis is such a process, but its absence in major crop plants has paved an ...

Pharmacologically Induced Meiosis Apomeiosis Interconversions in \u3ci\u3eBoechera\u3c/i\u3e, \u3ci\u3eArabidopsis\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eVigna\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
Apomixis is a clonal propagation method that produces offspring identical to the mother plant. With this feature, superior traits could be maintained over generations. However, our knowledge about apomixis is limited.

Identification and genetic analysis of the APOSPORY locus in Hypericum perforatum L. [PDF]
Der Induktion der Apomixis (Samenbildung ohne Befruchtung) in Kulturpflanzen stellt einen lang gehegten Ziel der Züchtungsforschung dar, da es die Fixierung der Heterozygotie ermöglichen würde.
