Big Role of Small RNAs in Female Gametophyte Development
In living organisms, sexual reproduction relies on the successful development of the gametes. Flowering plants produce gametes in the specialized organs of the flower, the gametophytes.

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

Morphogenesis of the gametophyte of Physematium montevidensis (Woodsiaceae)
In vitro spore culture and gametophyte characteristics may contribute understanding the life cycle in different fern taxa and also to systematic and taxonomic studies. The family Woodsiaceae contains two genera: Physematium and Woodsia.

Rab-dependent vesicular traffic affects female gametophyte development in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells rely on the accuracy and efficiency of vesicular traffic. In plants, disturbances in vesicular trafficking are well studied in quickly dividing root meristem cells or polar growing root hairs and pollen tubes.

Transcriptome analysis of haploid male gametophyte development in Arabidopsis
Background: The haploid male gametophyte generation of flowering plants consists of two- or three-celled pollen grains. This functional specialization is thought to be a key factor in the evolutionary success of flowering plants.

Grazing and Recovery of Kelp Gametophytes Under Ocean Warming
Kelp forests are economically important ecosystems that support a wealth of biodiversity but are declining globally. They are often replaced by biologically depauperate alternate stable states dominated by turfing algae.

Subcellular distribution of glutathione in the gametophyte [PDF]
Glutathione is an important antioxidant and redox buffer in plants. Despite its crucial roles in plant metabolism and defense in the sporophyte, its roles in the gametophyte are largely unexplored. Recently, we demonstrated that glutathione synthesis is essential for pollen germination in vitro.

During evolution of land plants, the first colonizing species presented leafy-dominant gametophytes, found in non-vascular plants (bryophytes). Today, bryophytes include liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. In the first seedless vascular plants (lycophytes)
