A model for an early role of auxin in Arabidopsis gynoecium morphogenesis [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The female reproductive organ of the angiosperm, the gynoecium, often consists of the fusion of multiple ovule-bearing carpels. It serves to produce and protect ovules and mediate pollination.

The AP2/ERF Transcription Factor DRNL Modulates Gynoecium Development and Affects Its Response to Cytokinin

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The gynoecium is the female reproductive system in flowering plants. It is a complex structure formed by different tissues, some that are essential for reproduction and others that facilitate the fertilization process and nurture and protect the ...

The bHLH transcription factor SPATULA enables cytokinin signaling, and both activate auxin biosynthesis and transport genes at the medial domain of the gynoecium

PLoS Genetics, 2017
Fruits and seeds are the major food source on earth. Both derive from the gynoecium and, therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that guide the development of this organ of angiosperm species.

Time-lapse confocal imaging helps to reveal a secret behind gynoecium development [PDF]

Quantitative Plant Biology
Organ morphogenesis is a complex process and numerous factors must be considered while choosing a method for its quantitative investigation. Few methods facilitate in vivo imaging.

Exploring Cell Wall Composition and Modifications During the Development of the Gynoecium Medial Domain in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
In Arabidopsis, the gynoecium, the inner whorl of the flower, is the female reproductive part. Many tissues important for fertilization such as the stigma, style, transmitting tract, placenta, ovules, and septum, comprising the medial domain, arise from ...

Site-Directed Mutagenesis Mediated by Molecular Modeling and Docking and Its Effect on the Protein–Protein Interactions of the bHLH Transcription Factors SPATULA, HECATE1, and INDEHISCENT [PDF]

Plants
The aim of this study was to investigate the biological relevance of predicted sites involved in protein–protein interaction formation by bHLH transcription factors associated with gynoecium development in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

Flower and Spikelet Construction in Rapateaceae (Poales)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The family Rapateaceae represents an early-divergent lineage of Poales with biotically pollinated showy flowers. We investigate developmental morphology and anatomy in all three subfamilies and five tribes of Rapateaceae to distinguish between ...

Redundant and Non-redundant Functions of the AHK Cytokinin Receptors During Gynoecium Development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The phytohormone cytokinin is crucial for plant growth and development. The site of action of cytokinin in the plant is dependent on the expression of the cytokinin receptors.

Comparative Floral Morphology and Anatomy of Gagea s. str. and Lloydia

Acta Agrobotanica, 2021
Flowers of the five species from the four sections of the genus Gagea (that is, G. lutea, G. pusilla, G. reticulata, G. fragifera, and G. serotina (syn. Lloydia serotina) were investigated by light microscopy.
