Cyto-Embryological Analysis of Wild Kentucky Bluegrass Germplasm in Gansu Province, China
Reproduction studies, particularly embryology, represent basic information of any plant. However, the current embryological information is fragmentary for Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.).

Reproduction mode and apospory expressivity of selected hybrids of Paspalum notatum Flgge
Paspalum notatum Flugge (bahiagrass) is the most important forage grass in the native grasslands of southern Brazil; the native germplasm is tetraploid and apomictic.

Abstract Cenchrus ciliaris L., a perennial C4 grass, is one of the most widely used forage species in warm and dry regions worldwide. The widespread use of the cultivar Texas raises concerns about genetic homogeneity and vulnerability. Hybridizations among facultative individuals could widen the genic pool. Therefore, a reproductive characterization of

In this study, aposporic apomictic development and its relation to the different flower development stages were investigated by light and fluorescence microscopy in Crataegus tanacetifolia (Lam.) Pers. (Rosaceae). At pre-anthesis stage, aposporic initial

TRIMETHYLGUANOSINE SYNTHASE1 mutations decanalize female germline development in Arabidopsis
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 ...

Red macroalgae in the genomic era
Summary Rhodophyta (or red algae) are a diverse and species‐rich group that forms one of three major lineages in the Archaeplastida, a eukaryotic supergroup whose plastids arose from a single primary endosymbiosis. Red algae are united by several features, such as relatively small intron‐poor genomes and a lack of cytoskeletal structures associated ...

Cytogenetics to functional genomics: six decades journey of Professor P.K. Gupta
Summary We had the fortune of starting our scientific/research careers in the Molecular Biology and Crop Biotechnology Laboratory of Professor P.K. Gupta at Ch. Charan Singh University, Meerut, UP, India. Here, we describe the most important scientific contributions of our beloved mentor in the area of cytotaxonomy, cytogenetics, mutation breeding ...

Abstract Geographical parthenogenesis (GP) describes the phenomenon that apomicts tend to have larger distribution areas and/or occur at higher altitudes or latitudes compared to sexual relatives. However, the complex effects of genome‐wide heterozygosity, ploidy, reproduction mode (sexual vs.
