The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

The Ovule and Female Gametophyte of Dioon [PDF]

open access: yesBotanical Gazette, 1906
1. Dioon occurs in abundance at Chavarrillo, Mexico. 2. It is probable that plants often reach an age of more than one thousand years. 3. The ovulate strobilus is more like the loose ovulate strobilus of Cycas than the compact ovulate strobili of the other genera. 4.

Development of wild-type female gametophyte.

open access: yes, 2013
A. A female gametophyte at FG1 showing functional megaspore (M) and degenerated megaspores (DM). B. A female gametophyte at FG2 with one nucleus at the chalazal pole (ChN), and the other nucleus at the micropylar pole (MN). The degenerated megaspores (DM)

NADPH OXIDASE-DEPENDENT SUPEROXIDE PRODUCTION IN PLANT REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
In the life cycle of a flowering plant, the male gametophyte (pollen grain) produced in the anther reaches the stigmatic surface and initiates the pollen-pistil interaction, an important step in plant reproduction, which ultimately leads to the delivery ...

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

The diversity of the pollen tube pathway in plants: towards an increasing control by the sporophyte

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Plants, unlike animals, alternate multicellular diploid and haploid generations in their life cycle. While this is widespread all along the plant kingdom, the size and autonomy of the diploid sporophyte and the haploid gametophyte generations vary along ...

Genome‐wide association study of morphometric and metabolic characteristics in European populations of the sugar kelp Saccharina latissima

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.

microRNA‐mediated control of cell fate specification and patterning in Marchantia polymorpha

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
The gemma developmental program in Marchantia polymorpha is coordinated by MpMIR166‐mediated repression of MpC3HDZ and auxin homeostasis. Summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non‐coding RNA molecules essential for growth and development in eukaryotes. In plants, the master gene DICER‐LIKE 1 (DCL1) catalyzes the biogenesis of miRNAs by processing double‐

Reactive Oxygen Species as Mediators of Gametophyte Development and Double Fertilization in Flowering Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism. In plants, they also function as important signaling molecules that regulate biotic and abiotic stress responses as well as plant growth and development.
