Behavior of Male Gamete Fusogen GCS1/HAP2 and the Regulation in Arabidopsis Double Fertilization [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 In the sexual reproduction of flowering plants, two independent fertilization events occur almost simultaneously: two identical sperm cells fuse with either the egg cell or the central cell, resulting in embryo and endosperm development to produce a seed.

ECS1 and ECS2 suppress polyspermy and the formation of haploid plants by promoting double fertilization [PDF]
eLife, 2023 The current pace of crop plant optimization is insufficient to meet future demands and there is an urgent need for novel breeding strategies. It was previously shown that plants tolerate the generation of triparental polyspermy-derived plants and that ...

Polyspermy Block in the Central Cell During Double Fertilization of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 During double fertilization in angiosperms, two male gametes (sperm cells), are released from a pollen tube into the receptive region between two female gametes; the egg cell and the central cell of the ovule.

The beginning of a seed: regulatory mechanisms of double fertilization [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The launch of seed development in flowering plants (angiosperms) is initiated by the process of double fertilization: two male gametes (sperm cells) fuse with two female gametes (egg and central cell) to form the precursor cells of the two major seed ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Asparagaceae’s large embryo sacs display a central cell nucleus polarized toward the chalaza, which means the sperm nucleus that fuses with it during double fertilization migrates an atypical long distance before karyogamy.

Fruit growth and development in apple: a molecular, genomics and epigenetics perspective
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Fruit growth and development are physiological processes controlled by several internal and external factors. This complex regulatory mechanism comprises a series of events occurring in a chronological order over a growing season.
