Big Role of Small RNAs in Female Gametophyte Development. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 In living organisms, sexual reproduction relies on the successful development of the gametes. Flowering plants produce gametes in the specialized organs of the flower, the gametophytes. The female gametophyte (FG), a multicellular structure containing female gametes (egg cell and central cell), is often referred to as an embryo sac.

Identification of Gametophytic Mutations Affecting Female Gametophyte Development inArabidopsis [PDF]
Developmental Biology, 1998 The female gametophyte (embryo sac or megagametophyte) plays a critical role in sexual reproduction of angiosperms. It is the structure that produces the egg cell and central cell which, following fertilization, give rise to the seed's embryo and endosperm, respectively.

Identification of transcription-factor genes expressed in the Arabidopsis female gametophyte [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2010 Background In flowering plants, the female gametophyte is typically a seven-celled structure with four cell types: the egg cell, the central cell, the synergid cells, and the antipodal cells.

Molecular movement in the Arabidopsis thaliana female gametophyte. [PDF]
Plant Reprod, 2017 Size limits on molecular movement among female gametes. Cellular decisions can be influenced by information communicated from neighboring cells. Communication can occur via signaling or through the direct transfer of molecules. Movement of RNAs and proteins has frequently been observed among symplastically connected plant cells.

Functional analysis of sporophytic transcripts repressed by the female gametophyte in the ovule of Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To investigate the genetic and molecular regulation that the female gametophyte could exert over neighboring sporophytic regions of the ovule, we performed a quantitative comparison of global expression in wild-type and nozzle/sporocyteless (spl) ovules ...

THE FEMALE GAMETOPHYTE: DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION [PDF]
, 2013 The plant life cycle alternates the diploid sporophyte and the haploid gametophyte. The female gametophyte of flowering plants develops within the ovule, a specialized structure within the ovary, which gives rise to the seed after fertilization. Sexual reproduction in plants entails a series of developmental steps that culminate in the formation of ...

Mutation in SUMO E3 ligase, SIZ1, disrupts the mature female gametophyte in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Female gametophyte is the multicellular haploid structure that can produce embryo and endosperm after fertilization, which has become an attractive model system for investigating molecular mechanisms in nuclei migration, cell specification, cell-to-cell ...

Rab-dependent vesicular traffic affects female gametophyte development in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2021 Eukaryotic cells rely on the accuracy and efficiency of vesicular traffic. In plants, disturbances in vesicular trafficking are well studied in quickly dividing root meristem cells or polar growing root hairs and pollen tubes.
