The Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain (LBD) containing genes are a set of plant-specific transcription factors and are crucial for controlling both organ development and defense mechanisms as well as anthocyanin synthesis and nitrogen metabolism.

The role of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome in plant growth [PDF]
The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a major role in the progression of the eukaryotic cell cycle.

Sub-minute Phosphoregulation of Cell Cycle Systems during Plasmodium Gamete Formation
Summary: The transmission of malaria parasites to mosquitoes relies on the rapid induction of sexual reproduction upon their ingestion into a blood meal. Haploid female and male gametocytes become activated and emerge from their host cells, and the males

Chromosome structure and behaviour in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) germ cells and early embryo [PDF]
Chromosome structure and behaviour in both meiosis of the germ cells and mitosis of the embryo from fertilisation to the two-cell stage in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were examined by DAPI staining and three-dimensional reconstruction of serial-section ...

Transposable elements (TEs), the movement of which can damage the genome, are epigenetically silenced in eukaryotes. Intriguingly, TEs are activated in the sperm companion cell – vegetative cell (VC) – of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. However,

Characterization of genes encoding poly(A) polymerases in plants: evidence for duplication and functional specialization. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Poly(A) polymerase is a key enzyme in the machinery that mediates mRNA 3' end formation in eukaryotes. In plants, poly(A) polymerases are encoded by modest gene families.

Repetitive DNA as marker for the study of male gametogenesis in higher plants. I. Analysis in some species ofTradescantiaandNarcissus [PDF]
SUMMARYThe use of heterochromatic regions, containing moderately repetitive DNA as markers, has allowed to follow the course of development of the generative and vegetative nuclei in the pollen grains of some species of Tradescantia and Narcissus.

Chromatin dynamics during plant sexual reproduction
Plants have the remarkable ability to establish new cell fates throughout their life cycle, by contrast to most animals that define all cell lineages during embryogenesis.

Proteomic Analysis of High-CO2-Inducible Extracellular Proteins in the Unicellular Green Alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can acclimate to a wide range of CO2 concentrations through the regulation of a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM).

A Novel Imprinted Gene NUWA Controls Mitochondrial Function in Early Seed Development in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Imprinted genes display biased expression of paternal and maternal alleles and are only found in mammals and flowering plants. Compared to several hundred imprinted genes that are functionally characterized in mammals, very few imprinted genes were ...
