Male gametogenesis in flowering plants
The life cycles of plants are characterized by significant alternations between the diploid sporophytic and the haploid gametophytic generations. Meiosis and fertilization are the prerequisites for achieving the alternation of generations. Diploid sporophytes undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes, and male–female gametes fuse (double fertilization)

GAP activity, but not subcellular targeting, is required for Arabidopsis RanGAP cellular and developmental functions [PDF]
The Ran GTPase activating protein (RanGAP) is important to Ran signaling involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, spindle organization, and postmitotic nuclear assembly.

Evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of male germline development in flowering plants and animals [PDF]
Sexual reproduction is the main reproductive strategy of the overwhelming majority of eukaryotes. This suggests that the last eukaryotic common ancestor was able to reproduce sexually.

NOF1 encodes an Arabidopsis protein involved in the control of rRNA expression. [PDF]
The control of ribosomal RNA biogenesis is essential for the regulation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Here, we report the characterization of NOF1 that encodes a putative nucleolar protein involved in the control of rRNA expression in ...

Cytotoxicity of Plant Extract Origanum syriacum on Gametogenesis of Two Terrestrial Slugs, Using TEM [PDF]
The present study includes ultrastructural aspects of molluscicidal effects of wild botanic aqueous extract, namely Za’ater plant (Origanum syriacum) on the gametogenesis of two terrestrial slugs, giant grey slug Limax maximus and tree slug L. marginatus. L. marginatus was more susceptible to this plant than L.

Genetic Loci Governing Androgenic Capacity in Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)
Immature pollen can be induced to switch developmental pathways from gametogenesis to embryogenesis and subsequently regenerate into homozygous, diploid plants.

Nitrogen is a major constituent of proteins, chlorophyll, nucleotides, and hormones and has profound effects on plant growth and productivity. RWP-RK family transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators that bind to cis-acting elements in the promoter ...

The making of gametes in higher plants [PDF]
Higher plants have evolved to be one of the predominant life forms on this planet. A great deal of this evolutionary success relies in a very short gametophytic phase which underlies the sexual reproduction cycle. Sexual plant reproduction takes place in

The reproductive success of many plants depends on their capacity to respond appropriately to their environment. One environmental cue that triggers flowering is the extended cold of winter, which promotes the transition from vegetative to reproductive ...
