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 ...

Three Cell Fusions during Double Fertilization [PDF]
Cell, 2015 Fertilization of both egg and central cell is a major distinguishing feature of flowering plants. Now, Maruyama et al. report a third cell fusion event between the persistent synergid and the fertilized central cell shortly after double fertilization in Arabidopsis. This causes rapid dilution of pollen tube attractant(s), preventing polytubey.

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE FERTILIZATION PROCESS IN ARABIDOPSIS [PDF]
, 2013 Fertilization and seed formation are key events in the life cycle of flowering plants. The seed represents an elaborated functional unit, whose main purpose is to propagate the plant's offspring. The first step in seed development is the formation of ovules and subsequently the achievement of a successful double fertilization process.

Central Cell in Flowering Plants: Specification, Signaling, and Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 During the reproduction of animals and lower plants, one sperm cell usually outcompetes the rivals to fertilize a single egg cell. But in flowering plants, two sperm cells fertilize the two adjacent dimorphic female gametes, the egg and central cell ...

Poles Apart: Monosporic, Bisporic, and Tetrasporic Embryo Sacs Revisited
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Bisporic embryo sacs contain nuclei derived from two members of a megaspore tetrad whereas tetrasporic embryo sacs contain nuclei derived from all four members of a tetrad.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 During plant sexual reproduction, F-actin takes part in the elongation of the pollen tube and the movement of sperm cells along with it. Moreover, F-actin is involved in the transport of sperm cells throughout the embryo sac when double fertilization ...

Double fertilization in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Hereditas, 2008 In an inbred line of Drosophila melanogaster with marker genes on the sex-chromosomes as well as on one of the autosomes, it was shown that double fertilization (two sperms fertilizing one egg) is a reality and that gynandromorphic flies can be the result of double fertilization as well as of X-chromosome loss. In this inbred line it happens with about
