Identification of lncRNAs involved in rice ovule development and female gametophyte abortion by genome-wide screening and functional analysis [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background As important female reproductive tissues, the rice (Oryza sativa L.) ovule and female gametophyte is significant in terms of their fertility. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important and wide-ranging roles in the growth and development of ...

Distribution of photosensitive fagopyrin in buckwheat flowers and its potential biological relevance. [PDF]
Sci RepFagopyrum esculentum (Moench) is a valuable pseudo-cereal valued for its highly nutritious, gluten-free seeds. Despite being recognized as a 21st -century superfood, buckwheat remains non-competitive in seed yield compared to common cereals.

Investigation of mechanisms underlying seedlessness in a Sangiovese somatic variant through comparative genomic and histological analyses. [PDF]
BMC Plant BiolBackground Both parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy lead to seedless grapes. Only parthenocarpy, which is rather rare, generates berries with a complete absence of seed tissues.

The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box protein FBL17 is essential for progression through the second mitosis during pollen development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 In fungi and metazoans, the SCF-type Ubiquitin protein ligases (E3s) play a critical role in cell cycle regulation by degrading negative regulators, such as cell cycle-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) at the G1-to-S-phase checkpoint.
