A little bit of sex prevents mutation accumulation even in apomictic polyploid plants

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background In the absence of sex and recombination, genomes are expected to accumulate deleterious mutations via an irreversible process known as Muller’s ratchet, especially in the case of polyploidy.

Salt in the wound : a visual exploration of societal and experiental aspects of female reproduction and abortion [PDF]

, 2004
Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-111).Salt in the Wound comprises a body of creative work supported by a theoretical discussion that critiques a patriarchally informed and imposed process of control over female reproduction and abortion.

Additional file 8: of Identification of lncRNAs involved in rice ovule development and female gametophyte abortion by genome-wide screening and functional analysis

, 2019
Figure S1. The RNA-seq data and qRT-PCR validation of seven lncRNAs and their target protein-coding genes. The relative expression levels of seven lncRNAs and their target protein-coding genes were shown. A lncRNA can have one or more target protein-coding genes. The bars denote the standard deviation.

The miR167–ARF8 module coordinates stamen–pistil development and fruit set in tomato

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 647-665, October 2026.
SlMIR167a is the functionally prominent SlMIR167 gene in tomato fruit development. Summary Auxin is an important regulator of reproductive development. The families of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, important components of the auxin signal, have expanded in flowering plants.

The SPL8‐YAB3/TCP19 module integrates transcriptional and protein–protein regulatory mechanisms to orchestrate anther development in Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN‐LIKE 8 (SPL8) is a plant‐specific transcription factor essential for anther development, but its regulatory partners and downstream mechanisms remain largely unknown. We identified 26 SPL8‐interacting transcription factors by yeast two‐hybrid screening and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays,

Single-cell RNA-seq reveals a link of ovule abortion and sugar transport in Camellia oleifera

Frontiers in Plant Science
Camellia oleifera is the most important woody oil crop in China. Seed number per fruit is an important yield trait in C. oleifera. Ovule abortion is generally observed in C. oleifera and significantly decreases the seed number per fruit.

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Screening of target genes and localization analysis for ovule abortion in the female sterile line of Pinus tabuliformis Carr.

Industrial Crops and Products
Female gametophyte development, which is the necessary life process for the formation of mature female gametophytes (FG) and the alternation of generations, is a precondition of sexual reproduction.

Arabidopsis EMB2788/Npa1L1 is critical for pre‐rRNA processing, ribosome biogenesis, and embryo development

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Ribosome assembly, a fundamental process for cellular functions, requires the precise processing of precursor rRNA (pre‐rRNA) into mature rRNAs, a transformation guided by ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs). While this process is well characterized in yeast and mammals, the roles of RBFs in pre‐rRNA processing in plants remain poorly understood.
