Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.We describe Stachytarpheta forzzae, a new species from an inselberg located in the municipality of Guaratinga, state of Bahia, within the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Morphologically, it resembles S. sprucei, the only other species of the genus known to inhabit inselbergs.

Mutations in the PERIANTHIA gene of Arabidopsis specifically alter floral organ number and initiation pattern [PDF]
, 1996 An open question in developmental biology is how groups of dividing cells can generate specific numbers of segments or organs. We describe the phenotypic effects of mutations in PERIANTHIA, a gene specifically required for floral organ patterning in ...

Evolution and development of the spikelet and flower of Rhynchospora (Cyperaceae) [PDF]
, 2014 Premise of research. Rhynchospora, one of the biggest genera of sedges, displays several spikelet and flower modifications and is one of a few genera where the pollination strategy changes from wind to insect pollination; however, the mechanisms that ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

LEUNIG regulates AGAMOUS expression in Arabidopsis flowers [PDF]
, 1995 LEUNIG was identified in a genetic screen designed to isolate second-site enhancer mutations of the floral homeotic mutant apetala2-1. leunig mutations not only enhance apetala2, but by themselves cause a similar but less-pronounced homeotic ...

Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae) [PDF]
, 2017 Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong to the large bHLH transcription factor family. Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Direct ETTIN-auxin interaction controls chromatin states in gynoecium development
bioRxiv, 2019 Hormonal signalling in animals often involves direct transcription factor-hormone interactions that modulate gene expression1, 2. In contrast, plant hormone signalling is most commonly based on de-repression via the degradation of transcriptional ...

Genomic methylation patterns in pre-meiotic gynoecia of wild-type and RdDM mutants of Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionAlthough DNA methylation patterns are generally considered to be faithfully inherited in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), there is evidence of reprogramming during both male and female gametogenesis.
