Molecular Control of Carpel Development in the Grass Family

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Carpel is the ovule-bearing female reproductive organ of flowering plants and is required to ensure its protection, an efficient fertilization, and the development of diversified types of fruits, thereby it is a vital element of most food crops.

A Conserved Role for the NAM/miR164 Developmental Module Reveals a Common Mechanism Underlying Carpel Margin Fusion in Monocarpous and Syncarpous Eurosids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The majority of angiosperms are syncarpous- their gynoecium is composed of two or more fused carpels. In Arabidopsis thaliana, this fusion is regulated through the balance of expression between CUP SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) genes, which are orthologues of ...

Patterns of Carpel Structure, Development, and Evolution in Monocots

Plants, 2023
The phenomenon of heterochrony, or shifts in the relative timing of ontogenetic events, is important for understanding many aspects of plant evolution, including applied issues such as crop yield.

OsROXY2 Regulates Stamen Number Through Interaction with OsbZIP47 in Rice [PDF]

Rice
Precise regulation of floral primordia initiation is essential for normal flower development. However, the mechanisms regulating floral primordia initiation (PI) are complex and poorly understood.

Spiral phyllotaxis predicts left-right asymmetric growth and style deflection in mirror-image flowers of Cyanella alba [PDF]

Nature Communications
Many animals and plants show left-right (LR) asymmetry. The LR asymmetry of mirror-image flowers has clear functional significance, with the reciprocal placement of male and female organs in left- versus right-handed flowers promoting cross-pollination ...

The CUC1 and CUC2 genes promote carpel margin meristem formation during Arabidopsis gynoecium development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Carpel margin meristems (CMMs), a pair of meristematic tissues present along the margins of two fused carpel primordia of Arabidopsis thaliana, are essential for the formation of ovules and the septum, two major internal structures of the gynoecium ...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis provides insight into carpel petaloidy in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a highly recognized flower with high ornamental value. Flower color and flower morphology are two main factors for flower lotus breeding. Petaloidy is a universal phenomenon in lotus flowers. However, the genetic regulation of

Serial Section-Based Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Anaxagorea (Annonaceae) Carpel Vasculature and Implications for the Morphological Relationship between the Carpel and the Ovule

Plants, 2021
Elucidating the origin of flowers has been a challenge in botany for a long time. One of the central questions surrounding the origin of flowers is how to interpret the carpel, especially the relationship between the phyllome part (carpel wall) and the ...
