Pistil transcriptome analysis to disclose genes and gene products related to aposporous apomixis in Hypericum perforatum L. [PDF]

, 2017
Unlike sexual reproduction, apomixis encompasses a number of reproductive strategies,which permit maternal genome inheritance without genetic recombination and syngamy.

Apomixis and Gene Expression in Boechera [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2010
The ability to induce apomixis, the production of seeds from maternal tissues without fertilization or meiosis, in crop plants has been referred to as a holy grail of plant biology. Apomixis leads to genetically identical progeny, which would, for instance, allow crops to retain complex ...

Rhizosphere Microbes Influence Host Circadian Clock Function

Phytobiomes Journal, 2021
The circadian clock is an important determinant of fitness that is entrained by local conditions. Aside from abiotic factors, individual pathogenic soil bacteria affect circadian clock function in plant hosts. Yet, in nature, plants interact with diverse

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 ...

Selection of reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR expression studies of microdissected reproductive tissues in apomictic and sexual Boechera

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Apomixis, a natural form of asexual seed production in plants, is considered to have great biotechnological potential for agriculture. It has been hypothesised that de-regulation of the sexual developmental pathway could trigger apomictic ...

Development of a Next-Generation NIL Library in Arabidopsis Thaliana for Dissecting Complex Traits [PDF]

, 2013
The identification of the loci and specific alleles underlying variation in quantitative traits is an important goal for evolutionary biologists and breeders.

Ecological genetics of range size variation in Boechera spp. (Brassicaceae) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2015
AbstractMany taxonomic groups contain both rare and widespread species, which indicates that range size can evolve quickly. Many studies have compared molecular genetic diversity, plasticity, or phenotypic traits between rare and widespread species; however, a suite of genetic attributes that unites rare species remains elusive.

Natural history of Arabidopsis thaliana and oomycete symbioses [PDF]

, 2008
Molecular ecology of plant–microbe interactions has immediate significance for filling a gap in knowledge between the laboratory discipline of molecular biology and the largely theoretical discipline of evolutionary ecology.

Depletion of Key Meiotic Genes and Transcriptome-Wide Abiotic Stress Reprogramming Mark Early Preparatory Events Ahead of Apomeiotic Transition

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Molecular dissection of apomixis - an asexual reproductive mode - is anticipated to solve the enigma of loss of meiotic sex, and to help fixing elite agronomic traits.
