Bangiales (Rhodophyta) in New Zealand: current state of knowledge and future directions

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2245-2263, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Members of the red algal order Bangiales are morphologically simple, with the gametophyte generation consisting of either filaments or blades, and the sporophyte generation consisting of microscopic uniseriate branched filaments. An ancient lineage, the order is distributed worldwide.

Building a botanical foundation for perennial agriculture: Global inventory of wild, perennial herbaceous Fabaceae species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 375-386, October 2019., 2019
Wild, perennial, herbaceous plant species have the capacity to provide both agricultural products and ecological services, such as soil stability and efficient absorption, over multiple years. Although perennial, herbaceous species are common in nature, these species were rarely domesticated.

Embryo sac development in some South African cultivars of Lantana camara

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1982
Twenty embryo sacs from each of 20 different  Lantana camara L. cultivars naturalized in South Africa were examined. The normal sexual embryo sacs were monosporic 8-nucleated embryo sacs of the polygonum type and were encountered in 55% of the material ...

Maternal haploid induction in maize via mutation of Gamete Expression protein 1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2595-2607, July 2025.
Summary Doubled haploid (DH) technology, based on haploid induction (HI), is a crucial tool in enhancing crop‐breeding efficiency and has been successfully applied in various plant species. While many HI‐related genes have been identified using diverse strategies, the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms underlying HI remain incompletely understood ...

Sequence characterization, in silico mapping and cytosine methylation analysis of markers linked to apospory in Paspalum notatum

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012
In previous studies we reported the identification of several AFLP, RAPD and RFLP molecular markers linked to apospory in Paspalum notatum. The objective of this work was to sequence these markers, obtain their flanking regions by chromosome walking and ...

Role of paternal Oryza sativa Baby Booms (OsBBMs) in initiating de novo gene expression and regulating early zygotic development in rice

The Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 6, June 2025.
SUMMARY Oryza sativa BABY BOOM 1 (OsBBM1), a member of the AP2/ERF family of transcription factors, is expressed from paternal allele in rice zygote and plays a crucial role in initiating zygotic development. However, the mechanism how the paternal OsBBM1 drives this development remains unclear. Rice zygotes with four different gamete combinations with

Natural Apospory in Pteridium?

American Fern Journal, 1966
From a population of the bracken fern in New Hampshire, Farlow (1889) described prothalloid outgrowths from the marginal sori. He concluded that natural apospory, i.e. the formation of a gametophyte vegetatively from a sporophyte under normal environmental conditions, had occurred as reported by Druery (1884) and Bower (1884).

Apospory in Pteris sulcata L. [PDF]

Botanical Gazette, 1919
1. The gametophyte generation of Pteris sulcata L. is ordinarily produced by the germination of a spore. 2. The embryo sporophyte is of apogamous origin. 3. The gametophyte generation of Pteris sulcata under certain conditions was produced aposporously. 4.
