Evolutionary history of the grass gynoecium

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2022
AbstractThe grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which develops directly from the gynoecium. Morphological interpretation of the grass gynoecium remains controversial.

Gynoecium development: networks in Arabidopsis and beyond

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Life has always found a way to preserve itself. One strategy that has been developed for this purpose is sexual reproduction. In land plants, the gynoecium is considered to be at the top of evolutionary innovation, since it has been a key factor in the success of the angiosperms.

Organogenic events during gynoecium and fruit development in Arabidopsis

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 2023
Angiosperms are the most successful group of land plants. This success is mainly due to the gynoecium, the innermost whorl of the flower. In Arabidopsis, the gynoecium is a syncarpic structure formed by two congenitally fused carpels. At the fusion edges of the carpels, the carpel margin meristem forms.

THE PALM GYNOECIUM

American Journal of Botany, 1971
The morphology, anatomy, and histology of the gynoecia at or close to anthesis are described for 20 genera of palms selected to represent different taxonomic alliances and to include major gynoecial types within the family. Palms may have 1–10 carpels, but most have three.

Inside the gynoecium: at the carpel margin

Trends in Plant Science, 2013
The gynoecium, which is produced at the center of most flowers, is the female reproductive organ and consists of one or more carpels. The Arabidopsis gynoecium consists of two fused carpels. Its inner tissues possess meristematic characteristics and are called the carpel margin meristem (CMM), because they are located at the margins of the carpels and ...

Hormonal control of the development of the gynoecium

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016
Flowering plants are called angiosperms and most of their flowers produce at their center a pistil or a gynoecium, which is the female reproductive structure. After a double fertilization event, the gynoecium develops into a fruit with great importance for the plant because it protects and helps the dispersion of a new generation, and, for humans is a ...
